Pak VS Eng T20 Series: There is not much time left for the T20 World Cup 2024 to start, but before that the performance of the Pakistan team has become a big concern for them. In the second match of the 4-match T20 series against England, the Pakistani team had a very poor performance in which they were limited to just 160 runs while chasing a target of 184 runs. Now in this regard, former captain of the Pakistani team and player Shoaib Malik has criticized the team's batting order, in which he gave a big advice to the team management along with captain Babar Azam.
Shoaib Malik took to Twitter and wrote
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik took to Twitter and wrote, "It's not PSL, it's T20I cricket. According to me, the batting order should be such that Fakhar Zaman should open with Rizwan and then Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan should come out to bat. Captain Babar Azam should use the other options on the bench wisely. Iftikhar Ahmed should be sent to bat a bit higher up so that he gets a few overs to acclimatise himself to the conditions there. Expecting them to score 12 to 14 runs every over as soon as they come in is not the right way at all.
performance in T20 Internationals in 2024
The Pakistani team's performance in T20 Internationals in 2024 is so far, they have played a total of 14 matches, out of which they have lost 8 matches, while only 5 matches they have won, while one match was canceled. In such a situation, it is definitely a big concern for their management regarding the form of the Pakistan team before the T20 World Cup. The Pakistan team is scheduled to play the third T20I against England at Cardiff on May 28.
