There is no doubt that the Pakistani Cricket Team preparing for the T20 World Cup has loads of talent. That talent was for everyone to see when in the previous T20 World Cup, they beat India in their opening game and managed to reach the semi-finals.
Their fans expect them to do even better in the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. While the Pakistani team may not be what it used to be in the 1990s, they still are a talented bunch in the T20 format, the shortest format of the game. Pakistan had also won the ICC T20 World Cup in 2009 after finishing as runner-up in 2007. If they channelise their strengths and play as a team, they can shock any team. With the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as batters and Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali as bowlers, Pakistan has some of the best players in the world. Babar Azam, in particular, is in the form of his life. Regardless of the format, he has the talent to excel when his team needs him the most. Mohammad Rizwan is another brilliant wicketkeeper-batsman for Pakistan. Rizwan and Azam have a batting average of 50.4 and 45.5, respectively. Based on the ICC’s rankings, Babar and Rizwan are Number 1 and Number 3 ranked batters, respectively, in the world.
The tall, left-arm bowler, Shaheen Afridi, can get the better of any batsman in the world. Pakistan can go far in the upcoming T20 World Cup with such a talented team. That said, Pakistan will have to prepare for fast and bouncy pitches in Australia, which are different from the slow and flat tracks of Pakistan and the UAE. The T20 betting on Pakistan’s team begins with the commencement of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament in October; be sure to stay tuned for more details and updates.
The Pakistan team for The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is a part of Group 2; the other teams are India, South Africa, and Bangladesh. Given the performances of Group 2, they have easier opponents than Group 1, which has the likes of England, New Zealand, Australia, and Afghanistan. Being in a relatively easier group, Pakistan has better chances of moving to the knock-out stage of the tournament than other teams. So, if you plan to place your bet on the Pakistan Cricket team in the T20 2022 World Cup, now would be a good time.
Pakistan team for the T20 World Cup will start its campaign by facing arch-rivals India on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
