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.

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.
