It decreased to 114 in the recent series and 110 in psl.
Of course he just has to be in the side to somehow overtake Sarfaraz’s legacy. That’s the agenda behind his inclusion in the first place.
Shadab and chacha at 5 and 6 was a failure against a D string NZ. Their a horrible option to have.
He had 42 avg and 152 sr in psl, on top of that he in emerging acc cup had the best performances despite that team including saim, Omair, Haris, shabzada farhan etc.
Chris Jordan had an average of 45 and a SR of 225, I'm sure you get my drift. If not, this point will not work out for you the way you want it to.
Great preview.
Didn't home domination in odi wcs only start from 2011
Yep, more a recent trend. However in T20 the home team has only made the final once - Sri Lanka in 2012 (which they lost).
Rizwan, Usman, Babar means 10 overs 60 runs and 3 wickets
Chacha and shadab were a mess at 5 and 6 lol.
So you are not going to play Amir? I guess he will be there and he should be if he is in the World Cup squad. Usman and riz opening is not going to work IMO.
No one else is ready
Amir is finished he's clearly struggling to pick wickets and economy is much higher too.
Rizbab are the best we have. Like it or not
You can have imad at 5, And for England series try 2 newbies at 6 and 7 to see how it goes. If not continue with shadab and chacha
Pakistan won't make it. Afghanistan has higher chances then them
As if Pakistan adheres to the rankings lol. They were ranked 1st 4 years ago, what happened from their on?
in WI wickets will support spinners.. so fair chances for Afghanistan to make it to the semis i guess
Probs the worst top 4 prediction I have ever seen. Afghanistan and west Indies Hahahahahahaha.lol West Indian legend Brian Lara excludes Pakistan and Australia from his top 4 for the T20 World Cup.
how can u drop Australia from ur list? they are the hot favourites to win the World Cup!
WI can get some home advantage but what the hell afghanistan is doing here! i dont think they will qualify for the super 8 round either.
I think he said wi due to personal nationality bias.
2017 happened due to psl superstars, inform fakhar and a captain who had a history of pulling suprise upsets a decade prior.
West Indies is a safe shout
Fair enough bro, but ik for a fact Australia is making it to semi's. Hence my evil laugh
Yeah I would be surprised if India make it ahead of Australia
Also bro I haven't been following wi, didn't they get booted by Nedtherlands? Why all the new hype for them atm? Did they improve?
They are at home so they are expected to do well.
Ouch, tough love for any batter who doesn't go from ball 1
This is why Pakistan have done the right thing with Azam Khan in the side. He’s honestly their best shot. Pakistan will realise it. Him and Fakhar are really important
Yeah I'm now finally understanding your perspective and honestly I agree. I change my mind about azam batting in these conditions.
This is why Ifti is essential. He has the power to muscle it over the boundary that very few in Pakistan have.
Yeah but Ifti can’t read wrist spinners
Doesn't matter. Reached semis and finals under the same captain in the 2 previous wt20 editions. Hoping against hope for a pak title victory regardless of who captains or who stars with bat and ball.
Due to covid era, format was different, no super 8's and alot of players being Injured, sick, unavailable and just not into it during these 2 times.
Thats the downside .....he is very weak against wrist spin. He has smashed Ashwin once in a pressure game so I hope deep down he can play some sort of spin.
Australia won't make it? But Sri Lanka and Pakistan will? Ridiculous
Yes, SL have a very balanced team and have a very good chance for shorter format. Bang for sure are going out i am not sure if they will even qualify for the s8.
You're in a for a brutal reality check
Everyone is conveniently forgetting that Australia were the biggest flops of the 2022 World Cup under Cummins even though they were playing at home.
In 2023 people were saying their trash, in 2021 people were saying their trash etc etc, same old story, same old woes.
I don’t remember anyone saying that Australia will be trash in 2023. They are a really good ODI team. The same cannot be said about them in this format.
They'll do well this time, trust bro.
India, Australia and NZ will all be in the same group in Super 8. This list is not possible.
Interesting. So maybe England or SA have a chance. England bowling is poor and SAs bowling also looks weak with Rabada's decline and the injury of Nortje
It's just ego drama.
Not holding it against them, just saying that they won because of the sequence of events not because they were the best team amongst the lot.
Not really. Other T20 World Cups weren’t so heavily geared towards teams winning tosses.
Just like India has a chance of making the semis this year, despite not being a favorites for this World Cup.
I thought rankings didn't matter? Or do they only matter when India is on top?
Which is why I added "for whatever it's worth"
They are much more balanced than Pakistan for sure.
Because the previous tournaments didn't have super 8's. It was s covid era where everyone got injured and got sick.
