Probable Openers of Pakistan in ICC T20 World Cup 2021 [Predicted].



ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Openers: While almost all the national teams in world cricket will emphasise over their openers for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, Pakistan looks settled in the opening department with the likes of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam doing their jobs perfectly.



It seems like Pakistan has done all the testing work and are almost certain to back their openers in Azam and Rizwan for the mega flagship event of ICC, starting October 17.



The pair is consistently scoring runs for Pakistan in the shortest format and are providing a perfect start more often than not.&nbsp;



For the England T20I series, Pakistan went with Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam as the openers, which is a perfect indication of their choices.



Moreover, the duo plundered a massive 150-runs stand in the first T20I against England for the first wicket while a 50-runs partnership in the second match against the same opponent a night before.

Rizwan, the wicketkeeper-batsman for Pakistan, has scored 943 runs in 30 innings in T20Is at an impressive average of 44.90. The cricketer almost clocks at 130 in the shortest format. He is also placed 11th in the ICC T20I batsman rankings with 640 rating points.



While Babar Azam, skipper of the Pakistan national team, needs no introduction especially, in the T20Is. Azam has scored 2,142 runs in the shortest format in 54 innings, averaging 47.60 and a strike rate of 131.



Azam, the specialist T20I cricketer, is placed 2nd in the ICCs T20I batsman ranking just below England?s Dawid Malan.



Rizwan and Azam own the record of most runs scored as Pakistan's T20I first-wicket partnership. The duo has amassed 429 runs, which is the highest amongst the 46 pairs that have opened for Pakistan.



Moreover, they scored with a run rate of 9.36 which is also the highest among the 46 Pakistan?s opening pairs.



With these two cricketers providing their services in the opening department, Pakistan will stick to them and show confidence going ahead in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 which is scheduled to be held in the UAE and Oman.

Pakistan will be playing under the leadership of new skipper Shaheen Afridi. Going into the tournament they will be one of the hot favourites to win the T20 World Cup 2024.

Pakistan had a sensational outing in the last two World Cups. They reached the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 and then were the finalists in 2022. This time around under Shaheen Afridi they would be hoping to go one step ahead and win the title. They have won the only title that came in 2009.



If Pakistan first qualify for the Super 8 stage, which is most likely to happen. They will then be part of the Group B of the Super stage. All the eyes will be on them as they will step in the field for the World Cup.&nbsp;

With this, Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan faces awkward moments with the fans due to his poor performance in recent matches.



The Third T20I match between Pakistan and England was washed out by the rain but England played dominating cricket against Pakistan in the second T20I match at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. England won the 2nd T20I match by 23 runs and skipper <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Jos+Buttler" rel="nofollow">Jos Buttler</a> played a superb inning of 84 runs. Pakistan Pacers did quite well but the batters failed to chase the target of 184 runs.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs PAK, The Awkward moments Between Shadab Khan and a Fan:</h2>



During the travel in Cardiff, a fan confronted Shahdab Khan about his bad performance either by bat or ball in the ongoing T20I series against England.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=+Shadab+Khan" rel="nofollow"> Shadab Khan </a>failed to get a single wicket in the recent matches against England and Ireland, he has an economy rate of 12 per over. This clearly shows the Pakistani star players are facing a lack of form ahead of the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024.



Shadab Khan has always been the core player of the Pakistan National Cricket Team and his performance in the middle overs is very crucial for the team but T20 World Cup 2024 will start in just a couple of days. Therefore, many questions are raised over the performance of Shadab Khan in the recent games and this is not a positive sign for Pakistan.&nbsp;

Pakistan still has the chance to draw the t20I series against England by 1-1 by defeating them in the fourth T20I match, which will be played on June 30 at Kennington Oval Cricket Ground in London. It is expected that Pakistani players will give good competition to the home team and chances are high they might win the 4th T20I match as well.



Pakistan have made lots of changes after they failed to play good cricket in the ICC Men?s ODI World Cup 2023 in India. Babar Azam was reappointed as skipper of the Pakistan National Cricket Team after newly appointed skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi failed to make an impact in the bilateral series.&nbsp;



Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and fans are expecting a lot from Pakistan team in the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024 but if we look at recent matches, they aren?t playing good cricket. Some of the players like Fakhar Zaman, Mohd. Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi even Skipper Babar Azam are playing superb cricket but they need to play collective cricket to win the ICC tournament.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan Matches in T20 World Cup 2024:</h2>



Pakistan will be playing their first match of the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024 against the USA on June 06 at Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas.

In a thrilling start to the T20 World Cup 2024, the USA pulled off an incredible 190+ chase against Canada in the inaugural match! But they didn't stop there?USA went on to level the score against Pakistan's formidable bowling lineup, one of the best in the tournament. This stunning upset is the first big shocker of the T20 World Cup and is sure to skyrocket the confidence of the USA players as they gear up to face India on June 12th. What an electrifying start for the USA!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-usa-match-summary">PAK vs USA Match Summary</h2>



Winning the toss was a game-changer, and luck was on USA's side! They strategically invited Pakistan to bat first, kicking off with spin to seize control of the innings right from the start. Mumbai-born Saurabh Netravalkar struck first, sending Rizwan back to the pavilion with a sharp edge to third slip. The excitement continued as Usman Khan, attempting a risky lofted shot, fell to Nosthush Kenjige in just the third over.



Then came Fakhar Zaman, blazing onto the field but lasting only seven balls. Pakistan found themselves reeling at 3 down within the first five overs. However, Shadab Khan and skipper Babar Azam fought back valiantly, building a crucial 72-run partnership. Shadab dazzled with a quickfire 40 off 25 balls, but questions arose as Babar Azam struggled to accelerate, inexplicably maintaining a strike rate of just 100 after playing 40-odd balls on a decent batting surface.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/BABAR-SHADAB.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Points Table Updated on 7 June; USA Rattled Pakistan in a Super Over" class="wp-image-135020" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Babar and Shadab Stabilized Pakistan's innings (Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>



Azam Khan's dismissal on the very first ball added to Pakistan's woes, leaving them floundering in the middle. However, the late-innings heroics of Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Afridi brought some much-needed fireworks. Their explosive hitting in the death overs propelled Pakistan to a fighting total of 159 in their 20 overs.



Chasing 160 against Pakistan's formidable bowling attack was no walk in the park. USA, however, held their nerve, avoiding early wickets and capitalizing on a couple of crucial misfields. They powered through the batting powerplay, racking up 44 runs and losing just Steven Taylor. The game-changing moment came with skipper Monank Patel and Andries Gous forging a vital 68-run partnership for the second wicket. This stand was the cornerstone of their chase, setting the stage for an exhilarating finish

Haris Rauf and Mohammad Amir reignited the contest with two quick wickets, dismissing both set batters and injecting fresh excitement into the game. With the match hanging in the balance, Aaron Jones and Nitish Kumar stepped up, guiding USA to a nail-biting scenario: 15 runs needed off the last over. Haris Rauf's first three balls were brilliant, conceding just 3 runs, but then the drama unfolded as his next three deliveries went for 11 runs, leading to a thrilling tie and a super over showdown!



USA took the crease first in the super over with Jones and Harmeet ready to take on the challenge. Known for his control, Mohammad Amir surprisingly gave away 3 wides, while a boundary and sharp running between the wickets saw USA amass 18 runs. The stage was set for a pulsating finish!



Saurabh Netravalkar took the ball for USA in the super over and delivered an exceptional first three balls, giving away only 5 runs and taking a crucial wicket. With Pakistan needing 14 off the last three balls, the pressure was immense. They could only muster 4, 2, and 1 in those final deliveries, sealing a historic victory for USA in the super over. This sensational win against Pakistan will be remembered as a landmark moment in the T20 World Cup!

ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Points Table Updated on 7 June; USA Rattled Pakistan in a Super Over

icc-t20-world-cup-2024-points-table-updated-on-7-june-usa-rattled-pakistan-in-a-super-over

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI Ft. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>

A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.

In what promises to be an exciting and thrilling contest, Steve Smith-led Australia and Dhananjaya de Silva's Sri Lanka are set to lock horns versus each other in the second and the last match of the two-match Test-Series at the Galle International Stadium of Galle from the 6th of February onwards (Wednesday). 
In the opening encounter of the series, the Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable victory by an inning and 242 runs and this win helped them to take an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match series. In such a situation, the Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka would be looking to make a strong comeback by rectifying their mistakes in the second match. 
Ahead of this exciting contest, some thrilling player battles will be seen taking place between the star players of both teams which can go on to affect the outcome of the match. We will be taking a look at those player battles in this article
While the Kangaroos have already taken the lead in the series, the home side will have the chance to make a strong comeback by taking advantage of the home conditions on offer. It will be interesting to see which team finishes out on top in these player battles and which team succumbs to the pressure. 
<h2>Dinesh Chandimal versus Matthew Kuhnemann</h2>
Australia's left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ball, ending the match with 0 scalps to his name but he can trouble Sri Lankan batters on the spinning track of Galle. 
This will be especially very challenging for experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. He is a good player of spin, has a good record against them and also he knows the conditions of Galle quite well but the variations of Kuhnemann can trouble him in the second Test-Match.
<h2>Prabhat Jayasuriya versus Usman Khawaja</h2>
Australia's experienced opening batter Usman Khawaja is in great form with the bat and he also possesses' an excellent batting record on Subcontinental surfaces. While the Australian team management would be happy to see him performing, they might be a little worried in the 2nd match as experienced left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya can trouble him a lot. 
The 33-year-old has excellent variations up his sleeve and has knack of performing brilliantly in spin-friendly conditions and home conditions. He also got the better of the Southpaw in the opening encounter, dismissing him when he was batting on the score of 232 runs and Jayasuriya would be looking to get the better of Khawaja again in the final match of the series. 
<h2>Other notable player battles</h2>
Apart from the two above-mentioned player battles, the battle between elite Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon and promising Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis will also be worth watching out for. 
Angelo Mathews will have to rely on his batting technique to tackle the speed and swing of Mitchell Starc and at the same time, Asitha Fernando has the ability to trouble the Australian duo of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and bounce.

India Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma is all set to achieve a massive feat in ODI cricket. The opening batter is just 134 away in 19 innings from becoming the second-fastest batter to complete 11,000 runs in the history of 50-over cricket. 
Rohit Sharma currently has 10866 runs in the 257 innings in ODIs. If he achieves the feat in the next 19 innings, he will be joining Virat Kohli, who is the fastest to 11000 runs in ODIs. The batter achieved the feat in just 222 innings. He is also the fastest to 10000 runs. 
Currently, Sachin Tendulkar is the second fastest to 11000 runs in ODIs as he achieved the feat in 276 runs. With India having ODI season now, it is expected that Rohit Sharma will become the second fastest batter to score 11000 runs in the 50-over format. 
Rohit Sharma will have a great opportunity to achieve the feat in the upcoming ODI series against England. India will be locking horns with the Jos Buttler-led side in the three-match series, which will begin on Thursday (6th February) in Nagpur. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma will be captaining the India team in the ODI series against England</h2>
Rohit Sharma will be captaining the India team in the ODI series against England, and three games will be extremely important for him in the context of how things have turned against him. The batter has faced a lot of criticism for his poor outings of late as a batter as well as a skipper.
The series will be a great opportunity for him to make a comeback and silence all his critics in style. He has been a giant in the ODI format and with the way he has performed in the 50-over format, it won't be a surprise if he ends up scoring runs in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Rohit Sharma also has been named as the captain of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With the kind of criticism that he has faced in the last few months, it will be a great opportunity for him to make a strong comeback and give a reply to criticism by winning the tournament for the team.
