Top-3 is Pakistan’s strength
Middle order team weakness
The entire batting of Pakistan revolves around Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman. There is no dearth of talent in the middle order, but the batsmen are inexperienced. In view of this, PCB has included senior batsman Shan Masood in the team. Last time, Pakistan had names like Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez, but now both the senior batsmen are out of the team. Fast bowling includes Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Shahnawaz Dahani. Shaheen Afridi is the leader of the pace attack, but how effective this left arm pacer will be while coming back from injury, it will be a matter to be seen.
