ODI World Cup 2023: All Teams strongest predicted playing XI for the tournament

3. Pakistan

While Pakistan hold the second position in the ICC rankings currently, they face some stiff challenges ahead. The recent struggles of Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ul Haq, coupled with a decline in the spin bowling department, notably, vice-captain Shadab Khan's disappointing form in recent months, highlight areas for improvement. 

The team's success in the ODI World Cup 2023, hinges on key players like skipper Babar Azam, Rizwan, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Afridi finding their form. Also, they will highly rely on Iftikhar Ahmed to strike big in the end-overs as their team lacks hard-hitting capability at the top.
