2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup - Australia

Shan is the key man.. he'll definitely win it with Nawaz and Afridi chipping in
 
What the heck are Pakistan doing here! 130 odd to get I switched it off saying easy win for Pak but this is ridiculous from them!
 
I would have kept Asif instead of Haider.
Honestly, I would have done the same because Haider batting so low is useless for the skill that he possesses. He is more of a crafter than a slogger/pinch hitter. Shan is doing great. Pakistan might as well have Haider at 4 (since they wouldn't take a big call of demoting their openers down the order nor do the openers have the skill to hit big from the word go.) and leave the hitting for Iftikhar, Nawaz and Shahdab. If Haider still doesn't work well there, it would be time to give him a rest and bring Khushdil in. That would give some big hitting firepower after the usual tuk tuk game from their openers who usually eat up most of the overs in the innings.

Its not a great sign if you play 7 capable batsmen (including the allrounders Shahdab and Nawaz) and still have to be dependent on the bowlers to take the team over the line. Even against India, Afridi and Rauf chipped in with some crucial runs. Irrespective of the result, Pakistan should look into their batting prowess.
 
Zimbabwe looking like a few of those lower ranked sides (Afghanistan, Scotland, Netherlands and Ireland); a bowling attack that can compete but a fragile batting line up that is reliant on two or three players performing. Regardless of final result, the bowlers have done a great job keeping them in this.
 
Nawaz doing it again... told ya Pakistan winning... they love giving scare every time... that's all
 
That six seals it for Pakistan. Shows how crucial a player Nawaz is. I hope they don't mess it up like they have with a plethora of talented cricketers in the past.
 
Well wow what a match and Pakistan need to be credited for taking it this close.
