PAK vs AUS: Babar Azam-led Pakistan will lock horns against Pat Cummins-led Australia in the 18th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. Pakistan ate a humiliating loss in their last outing against India and now it is time for them to hit with a strong comeback against Australia on 20 October. In this post, we discuss Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For PAK vs AUS.

Australia was one of the top contenders for the title this year as per cricket enthusiasts and pundits but they had a terrible start to their World Cup 2023 campaign. Australia straight lost the first two games and were on the back foot at the very beginning of the tournament. First, they lost to India by 6 wickets on a batting surface. Then South Africa crushed them by 134 runs again on a batting surface. Cummins and co. won their last match against Sri Lanka but there were also not-so-convincing performances by the Aussies. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/pak-vs-AUS-1-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-120566" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs AUS: World Cup 2023</figcaption></figure>



Pakistan were looking strong and quite stable team a week ago but the Match against India on 14 October exposed their batting depth. Weak opening strategies, an out-of-form middle order, and a vulnerable bowling line-up that fumbles if they start leaking runs. Pakistan have some issues they need to deal with. And Pakistan have shown that have that potential to turn thing around when they are under pressure.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-analysis">PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 Analysis</h2>



Abdullah Shafique has provided stability at the top when the second partner Imam is running out of form. He smashed an excellent century against Sri Lanka and led his team to a second win in this edition of the World Cup. Babar showed a strong character against India after a string of poor scores.



Rizwan has been the backbone of Pakistan in the middle and undoubtedly has been the best Pakistani batter to understand and adapt to the Indian condition. He is the highest run scorer for Pakistan in this campaign.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Mohammad-Rizwan-1.jpg" alt="Mohammad Rizwan" class="wp-image-120924" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammad Rizwan (image source - Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Pakistan's top-order have to score high runs and prolong their innings if they want to win against Australia. Despite a strong start against India, they fell short there. Fakhar would have been an option to replace Imam but Zaman still remains unavailable for another week while Agha Salman is recovering from an illness.



Saud Shakeel has been impressive in the past but he looks off-color in this tournament and unfortunately, Pakistan doesn't have that many options on the bench. Ifthikar is an explosive batsman but not a reliable one. He is not a promising finisher that Pakistan should have on a stage like the World Cup.



Shadab Khan will be there in the team working as a leg-spinning allrounder and he also provides a safe hand to the fielding. Now, Usama Mir replacing Mohammad Nawaz as Pakistan's leg-spinner is the only change that appears plausible. Nawaz has not been too efficient, whereas Mir impressed against the Australians in Hyderabad during the warm-up game.

Australia will be looking for big players to stand up and take charge. Smith and Warner haven't really stood up to their brand of cricket and they are likely to do so today. While, for Pakistan, expect a big fifty from Babar or Rizwan. Rauf can be a useful bowler in the middle.

PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023

PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: In what promises to be a really fascinating and entertaining encounter, Babar Azam led Pakistan are set to lock horns against Michael Bracewell?s New Zealand in the second T20i of the five match series at Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The first T20i got washed out due to rain, but there's no shortage of matches as four games are still left to be played in the series.&nbsp;



The Shaheens are not expected to make any changes in their playing 11 and they are expected to field the same team as the first game, featuring a mix of youngsters and experienced players.&nbsp;



The trio of Abrar Ahmed, Irfan Khan Niazi and Usman Khan made their T20 International debut in the previous game but, they didn't get a chance to make their debuts memorable as rain washed out the first T20i.&nbsp;



Saim Ayub and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam are anticipated to open the inning for the Men in Green and wicket keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan is likely to bat at number three.&nbsp;



The middle order will consist of the likes of Irfan Khan Niazi and Usman Khan, providing a blend of power hitting and stability in the team.&nbsp;



The duo of Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed will be handling the All - Rounder department of the Shaheens and both of them provide depth and versatility in both bowling and batting. Iftikhar is also someone who can play big shots at will and he will also play the role of the finisher for his side.&nbsp;



Talking about the bowling department, seamers Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be handling the fast bowling unit. Notably, Mohammad Amir is making his return to Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team after a span of four years. Abar Ahmed on the other hand will also play a key role for the home side as he will be looking to trouble the Kiwi batters with his spin bowling variations.&nbsp;



The first T20 International game between the two teams was called off after just two balls due to constant rainfall in the city of Rawalpindi. With the weather forecast showing a decrease in the chances of rainfall ahead of the second T20 International, fans would be hoping to enjoy the full game without any interruption.&nbsp;

pak-vs-nz-2nd-t20i-pakistan-strongest-playing-11-against-new-zealand-in-2nd-t20i

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I: In what promises to be a really entertaining and compelling encounter, Pakistan led by Babar Azam are set to take on Michael Bracewell led New Zealand in the fourth T20 International match of the five match series at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. The match will take place on 25th April and it will commence at 8:00pm IST.



In the previous encounter, Kiwi batter Mark Chapman played an unbeaten knock of 87 runs and led a second string New Zealand team to a shocking victory by seven wickets against Pakistan in the third T20i in Rawalpindi on Sunday. The Southpaw scored 87 runs in just 42 balls and helped his side chase the target of 179 runs in 18.2 overs against a really good Pakistan bowling unit, silencing a packed crowd of 16,000 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Skipper Babar Azam (37 runs) and Shadab Khan (41 runs) helped the home side post a total of 178-4 on the board but the Shaheens bowling unit failed to defend the score as Kiwis leveled the five match series 1-1.



The fourth and the penultimate T20i will take place at Lahore and both the teams will be looking to showcase their best possible performance in the fourth game and head into the fifth T20i on a winning note.



The penultimate game will be particularly more important for the Men in Green as this series against New Zealand is acting as preparatory ground for the 2024 T20 World Cup and the best performers will be chosen in the squad for this year's mega event.



Talking about the playing 11 of the home side, some changes have to be made if the Babar Azam led team want to win the fourth T20i.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="pakistans-strongest-playing-11-for-the-4th-t-20-i-against-new-zealand">Pakistan's Strongest playing 11 for the 4th T20I against New Zealand</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="openers-babar-azam-captain-and-saim-ayub">Openers - Babar Azam (Captain) and Saim Ayub</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Babar-Azam-Captain-and-Saim-Ayub.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133306" /></figure>



The duo of skipper Babar Azam and Saim Ayub are expected to continue opening the inning for the Shaheens in the fourth match as well. Both of them played really good innings against the visitors in the 3rd T20i and even got involved in a partnership of 55 runs in 38 balls for the opening wicket. The opening duo have played many match winning innings together for Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL and expect them to do the same for the National Team as well.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="middle-order-fakhar-zaman-haseebullah-khan-wk-and-irfan-khan-niazi">Middle Order- Fakhar Zaman, Haseebullah Khan (WK) and Irfan Khan Niazi</h4>



Fakhar Zaman didn't get a chance to play in the first two games of the series but he is anticipated to play in the penultimate T20i in place of Usman Khan. Usman has failed to replicate his PSL 2024 form in International Cricket for the Men in Green. In the 2nd T20i, the 28 year old managed to score just seven runs in six balls as Ish Sodhi clean bowled him with a beautiful delivery. In the third match, Usman scored just five runs in seven balls and got dismissed once off the bowling of Ish Sodhi. Fakhar didn't play in the first two games in order to give Usman a chance to prove his worth but after seeing his poor performances with the bat, the team management will be tempted to include Fakhar instead of Usman in the playing 11.



Mohammad Rizwan got injured while batting in the third T20i against the Kiwis and the injury forced him to retire hurt. Haseebullah Khan was recently included in the squad for the New Zealand series as an injury replacement for Azam Khan and post the injury of Rizwan, the 21 year old Haseebullah is expected to replace Rizwan in the playing 11 and don the gloves against the Kiwis. He made his T20i debut earlier this year in January against New Zealand but didn't get a chance to bat. In domestic T20 Cricket, the Peshawar Zalmi batter has scored 481 runs in 28 games at a not so impressive strike rate of 122.08. But he has the potential to succeed at the highest level of the game and it remains to be seen how well he performs in the fourth game if he gets selected.



Irfan Khan Niazi will come out to bat at number five and he has had a good start to his T20 International career having scored 18*runs and 30 runs in the second and the third T20i's respectively. He is known for his hard hitting abilities and he would like to play yet another useful knock for his side in the penultimate T20i against the Kiwis.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="all-rounders-iftikhar-ahmed-and-shadab-khan">All Rounders- Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/692891_89645904.jpg" alt="Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan" class="wp-image-133307" /></figure>



The duo of Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed are anticipated to handle the All - Rounder department yet again for the fourth T20i against the Kiwis. Shadab Khan has had a decent series so far picking up two wickets in two games and even played a crucial knock of 41 runs in 20 balls at a strike rate of 205.00. The 25 year old will be crucial in the home side?s hopes of winning the five match series against New Zealand.



Iftikhar Ahmed on the other hand hasn't received any chance so far to prove his worth to his side in the current series. He didn't get a chance to bat in the previous two games but he got a chance to bowl in the last game but he failed to do much with the ball as he gave away 16 runs in his two overs and failed to pick up a wicket. However, Iftikhar is a really good player and will be anticipated to play a key role with both the bat and the ball in the penultimate T20i.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="bowlers-mohammad-amir-abrar-ahmed-naseem-shah-and-abbas-afridi">Bowlers - Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah and Abbas Afridi.</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/cover_1684915911FotoJet-2023-05-24T131123.924.jpg" alt="Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah and Abbas Afridi." class="wp-image-133308" /></figure>



Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't have a good game with the bowl in the third T20i as he gave away 37 runs in 3.2 overs without picking up a wicket at an economy rate of 11.10. The team management will be looking to give some rest to Afridi for the fourth game and bring in Mohammad Amir in his place. Amir took two wickets in the second T20i but he was benched in favor of Abbas Afridi. He is anticipated to play in the next game and the 30 year old would be looking to once again play a key role and help his side win the fourth T20i.



Abrar Ahmed will be handling the spin bowling duties alongside Shadab Khan. He picked up two wickets in the second T20i but didn't get a chance to bowl in the third game. Captain Babar will be looking towards Abrar to get those crucial breakthroughs with the ball in the penultimate game of the series.



Naseem Shah made his much awaited return from injury recently and while he has picked up two wickets in three games so far, his economy has been a point of concern and he would like to bowl economically in the fourth match of the series.



Abbas Afridi was given a chance to play in place of Mohammad Amir in the previous game and he impressed with the bowl as he picked up two scalps in three overs. He is in good form and would like to trouble the Kiwi batters once again with the ball and his wicket taking abilities.

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I: Pakistan's Strongest playing 11 for the 4th T20I against New Zealand

pak-vs-nz-4th-t20i-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-for-the-4th-t20i-against-new-zealand

Pakistan Men's National Cricket Teams are gearing up for the upcoming three match T20i series against Ireland with an experienced, well balanced and string squad at their disposal. The Men in Green are going to field a playing 11 which feature a mixture of promising youngsters and experienced campaigners, under the captaincy of Babar Azam.



Skipper Babar will be opening the innings alongside hard hitting opener Saim Ayub. Both of them opened the innings together against New Zealand as well and while they got their team off to some good starts, they weren't able to convert those starts into big partnerships. Saim and Babar will be looking to improvise in their opening stands against Ireland. The top order will be completed by Mohammad Rizwan who will come out to bat at number three and will be donning the wicket - keeping gloves as well. His presence in the playing 11 will provide stability to the Men in Green's batting order.



The middle order will consist of the likes of Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman Khan and Shadab Khan. All three of them provide a really solid - foundation in terms of scoring runs quickly and their ability to switch gears at will makes the Shaheens middle order really deadly and dangerous.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/692891_89645904.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133307" /></figure>



Imad Wasim will be playing the role of the spin bowling all rounder and his experience brings a lot of value to the Pakistani squad while one of Salman Ali Agha or Irfan Khan Niazi will be anticipated to fill the slot of the other all Rounder. They will provide additional options and depth in the bowling &amp; batting departments.



Talking about the fast bowling unit, Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead the bowling attack and he will receive an ample amount of support by the duo of Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. The trio's ability of picking up early wickets and restrict the run rate of the opposition in the powerplay will be crucial in Pakistan's success against Ireland. 



If Haris Rauf plays, then it will be his first competitive match since returning from injury and it remains to be seen how well he performs in the absence of Mohammad Amir.

PAK vs IRE: Pakistan's Strongest playing against Ireland for the first T20I

pak-vs-ire-pakistans-strongest-playing-against-ireland-for-the-first-t20i

PAK vs CAN T20 World Cup 2024: Disappointment! A lot of disappointment and anger the whole of Pakistan would have been living with after losing an almost won World Cup match against India on 9th June. There are surely going to be a couple of changes in the playing 11 and batting orders against Canada as the last two matches are going to be crucial for them to win and here we are with the prediction of Pakistan's Strongest playing 11 in PAK vs CAN match.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-strongest-playing-11-against-canada-prediction">Pakistan Strongest Playing 11 against Canada Prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-playing-11-of-pak-vs-can">Pakistan Playing 11 of PAK vs CAN</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



Call it hard luck, bad performance, or point the blame at the playing conditions, Pakistan have lost two important matches and they are on the verge of getting eliminated from the tournament unless they win the remaining two matches by huge margins. Pakistan's qualification now also depends on how India and USA play in their remaining games. 



It was an upset for Pakistan when they lost against USA. They had a chance to start their campaign with a win but they lost it in the super over. USA posted 18 runs in the super over batting first bowled by Mohammad Amir. He and his team gave 8 extras in that over and when it came to chase, Pakistan could only add 13 runs and lost the game.



<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>



Another day, another match, and still Pakistan lost a game that they could have won. Pakistan played India on 9th June where they opted to bowl first after winning the toss. Their bowling was tight right from the start but Rishabh Pant managed to find runs. India were 89 for 3 down and then they saw a total collapse in the batting lineup. India got wrapped up under 119 runs in 19 overs.



Pakistan got a similar start as India and after reaching the 80-run mark in 14 overs, Pakistan started to lose control of the innings and the wickets started trembling apart and from a very good position, Pakistan then needed 18 runs off the last over. India won the contest by 6 runs but Pakistan could have won it if they had maintained their stance and aggression in the middle overs but Rizwan and a couple of players were too slow in the square. 



There is a need for some changes in the lineup for sure in the Pakistani camp and here we are with the prediction of Pakistan's strongest Playing 11 against Canada:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pakistan-strongest-playing-11-against-canada-prediction">Pakistan Strongest Playing 11 against Canada Prediction</h2>



Pakistan had a similar squad for their tours just before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. They gave a chance to Saim Ayub there but he wasn't in a good knick so Pakistan went with the veteran duo in the opening combination; Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Before the playing 11 is discussed, let's take a look at the squad of Pakistan for the T20 World Cup 2024.



<ul>
<li>Pakistan Squad For T20 World Cup 2024</li>
</ul>



Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed, Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Abbas Afridi



Pakistan have to go with <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/14241/saim-ayub">Saim Ayub</a> or they have got nothing left in this tournament. They are almost out of the tournament but there is a narrow path to escape. Saim Ayub can open with Muhammad Rizwan where Saim Ayub can play his naturally aggressive game to provide Pakistan with a brisk start. Rizwan can take his time at the other end to set things up. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Saim-Ayub.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128978" /></figure>



Babar Azam should bat number 3 in place of Usman Khan which provides a better balance to the playing 11. Fakhar Zaman is good at number four. He will carry the momentum for the team in the middle overs.



Shadab Khan showed some right intent against USA and hopefully, he can play number 5 at a similar pace. Azam Khan should bat at 6 as he is a good basher of the ball and he has the power to smack the ball out of the park. Then comes Iftikhar Ahmed at number 7. Iftikhar is an excellent finisher and has that power game as well.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/Mohammad-Aamir.jpg" alt="IND vs PAK: Three Key Player Battles to watch out for" class="wp-image-135099" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pakistan Team (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Now there are four spots left and Pakistan should stick with the four pacers Shaheen Shah, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, and Haris Rauf. This playing 11 looks like a better side on paper and Pakistan management must take a look at it.

Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore will face off in their first IPL 2025 match on 7th April, with MI leading the head-to-head record 20-14 across 34 encounters. While Mumbai has traditionally dominated at Wankhede, winning 8 out of 11 matches there, RCB has had the upper hand recently with 4 wins in the last 5 games. Key players to watch include Virat Kohli, who has 855 runs against MI, and Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 29 wickets against RCB. With both teams packed with firepower and the Wankhede pitch favoring high scores, today’s match is expected to be a blockbuster.

rcb-vs-mi-head-to-head-today-s-big-clash-full-records-top-5-players-to-watch-highest-scores-best-bowlers-match-history

The IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on 7th April at Wankhede Stadium is set to be a thrilling showdown between Indian cricket legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Mumbai has struggled this season with only one win in four matches and Rohit out of form, RCB looks stronger with two wins in three games and Kohli in top form, having already scored over 200 runs.
