T20 World Cup 2022: Rating squads of all teams in the tournament
The T20 World Cup 2022 will kickstart on October 16 with the group stages and the action will move towards the Super 12 round from October 22.
6. Pakistan : 7/10
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will again be key for the Men in Green with the bat at the T20 extravaganza. They have delivered the goods for the Men in Green time and again and will again hold the cards for the side at the World Cup. However, Pakistan's middle order consists of the likes of Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, and Asif Ali who have shown glimpses of their batting might but have failed to deliver on a consistent basis. Shan Masood has been the latest addition to Pakistan’s setup and will be entrusted to provide solidity in the middle order.
The pace attack will be their forte in the World Cup. Haris Rauf has breathed fire in the T20I series against England. Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah also have express pace and will be a handful in seam-friendly conditions of Australia. And with Shaheen Afridi expected to be fit, Pakistan has a fiery pace-attack.
Pakistan has picked Shadab Khan to spearhead the spin-attack with Mohammad Nawaz and Usman Qadir as other capable options. However, the trio turns the ball away from the right-hander making the spin attack rather one-dimensional. Skipper Babar can turn to Iftikhar with his handy off-spin to complement the premier spinners.
