Usman Qadir, Haider Ali and Asif Afridi to play the only T20i against Australia
As the ODI series between Australia and Pakistan completed on Saturday, both the teams are now heading towards the only T20i on 5th April at GSL..
Pakistan have got to a winning momentum after winning the ODI series 2-0 and are now looking to beat Australia with their best playing XI.
Team Combination
Opening
As usual, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's incredible duo will be opening for Pakistan following their recent performances in the T20i world cup and west indies' series.
Middle Order
Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali's inclusion in the middle order is expected in the only T20i at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
Spinners
Due to the unavailability of the two prime spinners i.e. Shadab Khan (unfit) and Mohammad Nawaz (injured), Asif Afridi and Usman Qadir are expected to play the only T20i on Tuesday.
Pacers
Shaheen Shah Afridi will be leading our pace attack while Haris Rauf and Mohammad Wasim Jr will also be playing the only T20i on 5th April,2022.
Playing XI
Here's how Pakistan's playing XI is expected to look like tomorrow:
Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Asif Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Usman Qadir.
Our Opinion
As Pakistan is playing against Australia's B team, we can rest some of our main players like Mohammad Rizwan and Haris Rauf and give a chance to PSL performers like Mohammad Haris and Shahnawaz Dahani.
Many people are saying that Mohammad Wasim Jr should not be in the team due to his poor form, but what we think is that he is a good aspect for Pakistan cricket and he is also good with his line and lengths and pace.
Team management is doing the right thing i.e backing him by giving him chances after which we also got to saw him performing in the 3rd ODI against Australia.
