Good to see Hasan Ali out finally.
Middle order is a massive concern. I would’ve had Azam Khan there. Great player of spin, powerful hitter, and backup keeper.

My XI

Babar
Rizwan
Fakhar
Iftikhar
Shadab
Khushdil
Asif
Nawaz
Shaheen
Haris
Naseem

I would personally prefer Haider Ali instead of Ifti chacha, but that's just Me.

Yeah, they’re both out of form, so doesn’t really matter…

Haider has a Man of the Match in 2 of his last 3 T20Is IIRC???

EDIT: Haider has a Player of the Match in the innings before his previous one. In his last game, he played but did not bat.

I'm looking forward to it but have a feeling India might end up disappointing us.

RE Haider: Irregardless of that - you have to admit that Haider has the higher ceiling.

Same on this end TBH. India has played 17 T20Is in the time Pakistan has played 1.

Ifti has 138 at 17.25. Highest of 52, take that away and that's 86 from 8 innings. :/

At least for Haider, you can make the case he had a poor tournament and got out of that rut in the series against the Windies.

Has Ifti done anything of note after his abysmal PSL?

It would have been so good to see additional asian teams as well in the main tournament - 2 groups of 4 or 5 and then directly hit the semis and finals. Love watching upsets (against other teams, not India)
