The teams of Pakistan and Australia will face each other in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. This will be Pakistan's fifth and Australia's fourth semi-final match. These two teams have met six times in the World Cup. Of these, Pakistan has won three times and Australia has won three times. At the same time, Pakistan's team has never been able to beat Australia in the semi-final match. Babar Azam would like to change this record against Australia after India as well. In this tournament, the Pakistan team has been in good form and has won all their league matches. On the other hand, Australia had to face defeat in front of England.
Australia's David Warner has returned to form and scored 187 runs in this World Cup. Apart from him, Mars has also batted well. On the other hand, Babar Azam of Pakistan is the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 264 runs. Also, Mohammad Rizwan is in a good rhythm. The entire team of Pakistan seems to be in rhythm. This is the reason why Pakistan has the upper hand. Although they have better experience in knockout matches and in big matches this team becomes very dangerous. Australia can put pressure on Pakistan even in the semi-final match.
Toss is very important
The match will be played at the Dubai ground at 7.30 pm. On this ground, a lot of dew falls in the evening, and the importance of the toss increases. The team winning the toss would prefer to bowl first. Teams have won ten out of 11 matches while chasing at this ground. Only one team has lost.
Pakistan is invincible from 15 matches in UAE
In the UAE, Pakistan's team has been winning consecutively for the last 15 matches. It will not be easy for Aaron Finch's team to stop Pakistan's victory. 2009 champions Pakistan are liking the conditions here and the team is doing well under pressure. It will be a big challenge for Australia to stop the pairing of Babar and Rizwan. Apart from these two, Asif Ali, veteran Shoaib Malik, and Mohammad Hafeez are also in rhythm. Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman is the only batsman who has failed so far.
Pakistan's spin trick is dangerous
Pakistan's bowling attack has also impressed a lot in this tournament. Fast bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf have picked up wickets in the beginning. However, Hasan Ali has not been able to perform as expected. Apart from this, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Hafeez, and Shadab Khan are in a good rhythm and will be the main weapons of the Pakistan team. Against spin, Australia has faced trouble on several occasions.
Kangaroo is the Alexander of big matches
The 2010 runners-up Australia have found their momentum at the right time. The Kangaroo team, led by Finch, would like to win the T20 World Cup for the first time. Apart from the eight-wicket loss against England, Australia has won all their other matches. The presence of Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins makes Australia's fast bowling attack strong. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa has performed brilliantly in the middle overs, making him the second most successful bowler in the current tournament. All-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh have led the team to success with the ball.
Australia will also have the option of playing left-arm spinner, Ashton Agar. In batting, the opening pair of Warner and Finch is capable of demolishing any bowling attack. Marsh is in good form at number three. In the event of losing wickets early, the dependable can handle the innings on Steve Smith. His strike rate will be a matter of concern for Australia.
