ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2024

 Pakistan has a decent chance in the Twenty20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and USA. Pakistan are one of the favourites as they are a pretty good Twenty20 side.

Pakistan has a great all round side with hardly any weakness. In twenty20 cricket you need quick scoring for which Pakistan has got good hitters like Fakhar Zaman. In bowling they have some of the fastest bowlers in the world such as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf who can reverse swing the ball as well. They have nice spinners like Shadab Khan and Usama Mir. 

In the end what I will like to say that conditions in West Indies suit Pakistan cricket team and In Sha Allah they will reach the Semi Finals at least in the tournament.

Removing Babar Azam from captaincy.

 Removing Babar from captaincy was a big mistake. We lost the test series 3-0 against Australia under Shan Masood whereas a weak team like West Indies managed to beat Australia in one test. This clearly shows lack of good leadership.

Under Shaheen s captaincy we lost the twenty20 series 4-1. All this results indicate that Babar was a much better choice as captain.

In the end what I would like to say that without Babar s leadership at the top we will perform even worse than before.

Pakistan tour of New Zealand review 2024

 Pakistan team performed below expectation in the Twenty20 series against New Zealand losing the series 4-1. Pakistan defended a low total of 132 runs in the 5th Twenty20 and avoided a whitewash against New Zealand by bowling out New Zealand for 92 runs in the 5th Twenty20.

Pakistan were outclassed in all departments of the game that is batting, bowling and fielding in the first 4 Twenty 20 internationals.

In the end what I would like to say that had Pakistan batted first in the first three Twenty 20 internationals the results might have been quite different.

Pakistan s performance in World Cup 2023

 Pakistan s performance in World Cup 2023 wasn't that bad. It was a satisfactory performance as Pakistan finished 5th in the world Cup. England finished just 7th in the World Cup and Pakistan performed better than England.

Afghanistan defeated Pakistan which was a major upset. If Pakistan had defeated Afghanistan Pakistan would have been a better position to reach the Semi Finals. Their morale would have been high in their match against England and who knows they might have defeated England in their last league match.

In the end What I will like to say is that had Umpiring favoured Pakistan in their match against South Africa Pakistan would have reached the Semi Finals.

Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024

 

Pakistan has a good chance of competing with New Zealand on their tour of New Zealand. Pakistan is a good Twenty20 team and they have a good chance of winning atleast two matches in the best of 5 match series.

Pakistan have batsmen who can score quickly which is a prerequisite in Twenty20 cricket. They have got good hitters like Fakhar Zaman who can hit the ball a long way. Their bowling attack is good and they can easily contain New Zealand batting to a slower run rate.

In the end what I would like to say is that New Zealand just lost to a weak team like Bangladesh in a Twenty20 international so Pakistan Twenty20 team definitely has a chance against New Zealand.

Pakistan tour of Australia 2023

 Australia are the overwhelming favourites to beat Pakistan in the upcoming test series. Australia have home advantage and they look invincible at home.

Pakistan s bowling attack is extremely weak as can be seen with the absence of Shaheen Afridi. They lack an experienced spinner in Abrar Ahmed and their bowling lacks penetration and ability.

In batting they lack a batsmen with an ability to play pace and bounce.

In the end what I will like to say Pakistan will do well if they avoid whitewash against Australia.

Pakistan s chances in World Cup Semis are looking dim

 Pakistan has a dim chance of reaching the semi finals of this World Cup. For this to happen luck will have to favour Pakistan as Pakistan have to hope that Sri Lanka somehow beat New Zealand and Pakistan then go on to beat England in their last preliminary match.

This looks next to impossible as Sri Lanka isn't a team in form and their bowling looks weak. New Zealand is a strong side and had it not rained in their match against Pakistan they would have probably defeated Pakistan.

In the end I would like to say that had umpiring not favoured South Africa in Pakistan s match against South Africa Pakistan would have been in a better situation to reach the Semi Finals.
