World T20 Series 2021

PAK vs AUS, Match Number 44, Semi-Finals 2

Preview

After winning all their games in the Super12, the Pakistan team will be more than confident for their match against the Australians. They have also done pretty well in the Super 12 and won four out of five matches and are very well ready to clinch their maiden T20 World Series. In such a high-stakes battle when both the teams have the ability to tear each other apart, who has the added advantage and who can actually come out on top? Here’s everything that you need to know before this high-voltage clash.

The evolution of Pakistan In this t20 World Series has been tremendous. No one really gave them a chance as most of the pundits and the fans believed that India along with New Zealand will qualify from the group. Pakistan not only changed that but also sent a statement in the process. They defeated India, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland and are ready for the next phase of the tourney. Before taking on Australia in Dubai, the men in green will be confident because they currently do not have any weak link. All their players are contributing to the success. Yes, Fakhar Zaman’s form can be a little bit of concern but the lad can manage. The bowlers are having a great season and players like Shaheen Afridi and Imad Wasim are simply dominating every opponent. In short, Pakistan is more than ready to qualify for the finals.

Australia is not really behind. It’s true that their batting order needs to improve a bit but the bowlers have been tremendous. Adam Zampa is winning games for Australia and Josh Hazlewood is taking wickets for fun. If they manage to win the toss, Australia can actually defeat the only undefeated team of the tournament. The road won’t be easy though. The batters have shown what they can do but haven't been consistent at all. The likes of David Warner, Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell will be important in order to reach the finale. Warner and Mitchell Marsh were brilliant in their last match against West Indies. If they can maintain that momentum, Australia may just clinch the victory.
