Pitch Report
Captains
Yet again the onus of scoring runs will fall on Babar Azam as the Pakistan skipper has been in good run scoring form in the recent few matches. The 29-year-old will want to keep his good form going and be the catalyst for an otherwise fragile looking Pakistan batting unit.
The West Indies born batter took the world by storm with his unbeaten 94 runs from 40 balls with 10 huge sixes. Aaron Jones made an instant impact with the bat but his true test comes against a formidable outfit like Pakistan.
Top
The 30-year-old has adapted well to life in the USA side and his 65 in the game against Canada was the biggest turning point. Gous is a naturally attacking batter with the ability to clear the field and is also a very useful wicket-keeper when needed.
Left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is a potent threat with the ball in the T20 format. The 24-year-old has been regularly picking wickets and given his side many early wickets to put the opposition under pressure.
Budget
The former Indian Under-19 World Cup winner was efficient and economical with the ball with figures of 1/27 from his 4 overs. Harmeet Singh will look to trouble the Pakistani batters and hope to put Babar Azam under pressure with his incisive bowling.
