Pakistan - Team Composition

Pakistan’s batting will revolve around openers Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam - ranked first and third in T20Is, respectively, but the middle-order will also need to step up and lend support. With Fakhar Zaman ruled out of the match, Shan Masood will be expected to fire at number three, with all-rounders Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz anchoring the middle-order. Big-hitters Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali and Haider Ali can end the innings with a flourish and could complete the top eight. The pace trio will be spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi, who returns from injury, and will also comprise Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah.
