Pakistan will win the 2020 T20 World Cup

[Bullet Drive]

Just have a feeling.

Sharjeel has still got it.

Bowling attack is amazing with Shaheen and Haris.

Only issue is our wicket keeper batsman. Shoulda been Umar Akmal. Who now?

Maybe Khusdhil Shah

 

[chazam]

Haan Australians to bas time pass Karne ayenge... a player who has not played for 3 years will win a World Cup for you... heights of delusion really.. but let’s keep this thread. Would be fun to revisit

 

[Mahee]

have no doubts in that....they are world No.1 in T20 cricket...advance congratulations to Pakistani fans on winning the 2020 T20 WC

Lets focus on the next one then. Should be easy with 3 world cups in the bank, right?

 

[ARK Rafay]

We do have players in Pakistan that can certainly give other big teams a tough time in the tournament. But most likely they won't be selected in the Final Squad.

 

[Ronaldo7]

That goes without saying.
We're gonna win the 2020 and 2021 T20i World Cup and the 2023 CWC so let's focus on the 2027 CWC instead.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I do believe that someone like Asad Shafiq should be selected to stabilise the innings though.

Or someone like Azhar Ali.

 

[Kaddy]

ICC should just arrange a cermony and hand over the trophy to Pakistan. No need to waste the time of 15 other teams.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Just incase we need to play for the draw.

I was going to comment on your OP but then you just made it worse by this post. Is your account been hacked?

 

[Nov15]

Australia are just 1 point behind & will be number 1 if they beat South Africa tonight.

 

[Hasan123]

You haven't seen Australia, England, and India play recently if you believe this.

 

[Ronaldo7]

England are alright. Nothing too special.
They barely beat SA. The same team Aus thrashed

In T20 there is no time to stabilise a innings.

[Eye_Done]

Aus or Eng are fav for the WC

 

[ahmadharis1]

Top Teams for T20WC

1. Australia
2. England
3. India

Huge gap

4. New Zealand
5. West Indies
6. Pakistan
7+. Everyone else

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are favorites to win. I think they will win it just like they did in 2015 WC.

Biggest advantage for the Aussies is the fact they are the home team.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

not really with this batting lineup.it is just awful.Bowling is gonna be the best for sure.australia is gonna win for sure or maybe England other than that India is not good enough to win they are just overhyped HTBs.

 

[sweep_shot]

England have done poorly in Australia historically. I can't see them lifting the trophy. They barely scrapped through a series win against South Africa.

India can win but I think Aussies have the edge on home soil.

Pakistan is t20 ranked 1 and you don’t have confidence to rank them in top 3!? What good are rankings for LoL

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan and West Indies are not favorites on paper but these two teams are always unpredictable. You can never count them out.

 

[Danyaalr01]

We definitely have the fast bowling sorted and the second opening slot will be sorted after PSL, hopefully Sharjeel makes it. The middle order is the concern right now, as well as the spinner. Iftikhar looks good and will probably be in the team. We have to get rid of Malik and Hafeez. Taking Shadab will be a bad option, he looks horrible right now. Umer Khan should hopefully do well or even Mohammad Mohsin.

Imad may look good now, but he will fail in Australia, just like he did last year. His bowling style won't work there, and he can't play the short ball at all.

 

[globalcitizen]

haha pakistan being ranked #1 in world again playing the unpredictable card. If you are ranked #1 be confident and fearless. Anyway at World Cup you will be judged as a top team to win the World Cup. Leave unpredictable tag to Bangladesh or Afghanistan South Africa or May be even Srilanka

 

[Swing]

Yeah I'm getting that "feeling" too. In fact we could have won the 19 ODI world cup as well if we had our **** together in the group stage but instead a joke of a choker team like NZ went to the last four instead of us.

I'm hoping PCB takes Sharjeel and Kamran Akmal both. They'll both be needed there considering the state our power hitting ability is in. Maybe take that Azam Khan too if he shows some consistency in this PSL.

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan will reach the semi’s and lose to Australia.

You’ve read it here first.

What huge gap are you on about?
India recently lost to BD.
They're a good side but not invincible

Also, England nearly lost the series to SA. all three matches were closely fought while SA got thrashed by Aus.

This is a lot closer than you think. T20i cricket is a very unpredictable format

 

[Bewal Express]

Batting not strong enough. Besides Babar, we don't even have a decent bat, never mind any class.

 

[Greenstorm]

As long as Misbah is there, we will not win anything.

Your obsession with rubbish players.

 

[Saurav]

Whats Pakistan's best T20 XI? Would like to compare with other contenders

 

[coy0607]

as long as they bat Anwar Ali in top 5

 

[Bullet Drive]

Your obsession with rubbish players.

Thanks Khan12

 

[theariezman]

Prediction or Confidence

 

[hitthestump]

I'll give it a go

Kamran (WK)
Sharjeel
Babar
Malik
Chacha Ifti
Hafeez
Imad
Faheem/Shadab
Shaheen
Rauf
Hasnain

Also realistically in contention for the WC: Fakhar, Haris, Amir

Sadly, Imad will be there and will lose us the cup. Single-handedly.

 

[Khan12]

No worries just stating a fact.

 

[Saurav]

Kamran (WK)
Sharjeel

Hafeez
Imad
Faheem/Shadab
Shaheen
Rauf

Hmmm

Doesn't compare favorably with Aus,Eng and India imo.

 

[FreePalestine]

1. Sharjeel
2. Azam
3. Hafeez
4. Shadab
5. Malik
6. Iftikhar
7. Azam Khan
8. Imad
9. Amir
10. Shaheen
11. Rauf

If this Azam Khan guy can keep wicket to a decent standard - how much stronger does this batting line up look compared to current one, with Imad at 6?

Have also moved Shadab to four, because, why not? He is useless at 8, an important position in T20.

 

[Kroll]

Wonderful out of the box thinking, along with some stability, experience wouldn't go amiss either. With this in mind, our batting order should be:

1. Kamran Akmal
2. Babar Azam / Ahmad Shehzad
3. Azhar Ali
4. Muhammad Hafeez
5. Asad Shafiq
6. Shoaib Malik
7. Sarfraz Ahmad

I'm inclined to boot out Babar and replace with Shehzad as I wasn't too impressed with Babar's wild drives outside off today. Shehzad's batting will further stabilise batting and add experience too.

WC coming home lads.

Personally I feel Babar should stay in the team. He has done okay for us.

Rest looks spot on, although I'd swap Shoaib Malik for Asad. Asad should play at 6.

He scored a great century in Australia in 2016 so he is used to those conditions. + he can clear those big Australian boundaries.

 

[shamaan]

Fakhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Kamran
Iftikhar
Azam khan
Imad
Shadab
Hassan ali
Shaheen
Rauf

 

[Justcrazy]

To win , you need to have 5 solid bowling options , Pakistan cannot go in with a weak link there. IN Batting they need solid 3 , 4 and 5 , who can keep the game rolling . Openers should be flashy , capable of playing quick cameos.

 

[shah_1]

Wet dream

 

[Canistani Hero]

Not sure what kind of squad Pakistan will send to WC, imagine Misbah will choose something like this


1) Babar Azam
2) Sharjeel Khan
3) Mohammad Hafeez
4) Shoaib Malik
5) Zeeshan Ashraf (WK)
6) Iftikhar Ahmed
7) Imad Wasim
8) Shadab Khan
9) Mohammad Amir
10) Shaheen Afridi
11) Haris Rauf

12) Asif Ali/Khushdil Shah
13) Ammad Butt
14) Mohammad Hasnain

Naseem has to play. Babar was being done for pace on flat Karachi wicket, just imagine him on the quicker Aus wickets.

 

[Bewal Express]

You know Hafeez and SM will fail unless they play against mediocre bowlers.

 

[Uzi]

You know Hafeez and SM will fail unless they play against mediocre bowlers.

Yes, with deadwood in our team it is asking for trouble. One too many average players in our side.

I reckon the Aussies will win it this time and that too on home soil.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ahead of Amir ?

 

[tyron_woodley]

lol pakistam will be lucky to finish top 4. Such an overrated team.

India is winning the t20.

 

[Bewal Express]

Ahead of Amir ?

Him and Afridi have to play, and then it's a matter of whether you go for Amir's experience, Rauf and his pace in Australia. Naseem will get hit at times because of his lengths but he will take wickets.

 

[zulfiqar]

With the way Babar Azam is playing, we'll always have a shot. We have to find big-hitters from this PSL that can play around him. Also, Shadab - who is usually poor in ODIs - is actually decent at T20s. So is Imad Wasim. We have a few useful bowlers - though both Australia and NZ have better bowling attacks. If Amir can hit rhythm the way he has in the past for big tournaments and Shaheen can continue to take wickets - we have a competitive team.

My biggest fear is that we select batsmen who have failed in last few tournaments instead of picking impactful hitters. I can easily see us selecting Kamran, Hafeez & Malik - and if we do that and they play the way they have played in last few WT20s, we have no chance. I hope that if they are selected that they can replicate their domestic form on the INT'L stage, but that is a huge ask.

 

[khan_aa]

WK batsman HAS to be sarfraz. Dont make him captain, but he is a proven T20 player. He has lost all the weight that he needed to and his running between teh wickets is back.

We cannot win with m. rizwan please.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Aussies will win it this time. They are the home team and they are in red hot T20 form.

sandpaper boys don't deserve to win everything. cheaters will always remain cheaters. They need to learn to play fair.

England won't win because they can't play bounce. Only kings on flat pattas. Any seam, spin or bounce on the pitch and they crumble.

India, n.z, cheaters and pakistan probably in semi finals. Either india or n.z will win.

 

[tyron_woodley]

not really with this batting lineup.it is just awful.Bowling is gonna be the best for sure.australia is gonna win for sure or maybe England other than that India is not good enough to win they are just overhyped HTBs.

India will win it gujjar. No doubt about it. England are kings of flat pattas. India can actually play spin, bounce and on pattas.

 

[Mamoon]

Would be a fluke like the Champions Trophy.

Our last quality T20 side was in 2010. Since then, we have been very ordinary including the fake number 1 team of 2016-2018.

We were lucky we didn’t play a WT20 in the 2016-2018 period. The reality check would have been bigger than the 2018 Asia Cup.

I an surprised everyone is underestimating west indies. They did win 2 t20 world cups you know lol.
