Pakistan Team T20 World Cup 2022: In the T20 World Cup 2022 being played in Australia, the Pakistan cricket team has finally confirmed its place in the semi-finals. After South Africa’s defeat against the Netherlands on Sunday, Pakistan got a chance. He took advantage of this and defeated Bangladesh to secure a place in the semi-finals.
Now Pakistan team will face New Zealand in the semi-finals. This match will be played on Wednesday (9 November) against New Zealand in Sydney. But before this match, the former captain of the Pakistan team, Shahid Afridi, gave special advice to the current captain Babar Azam.
Afridi Wants A Strong Batsman In The Opening
Afridi has said that the Pakistan team needs a bang batter in the top order. Especially in the opening, there should be such batters who can bat quickly. For this, Afridi has also suggested names for Babur. He has said that Mohammad Haris should come to the opening with Mohammad Rizwan. At the same time, Babar himself can come to bat at number three.
Afridi has given this advice through Twitter. He wrote in the tweet, ‘We need batsmen with firepower in the top order, who can play with a clear mind like Haris and Shadab Khan.’ That is, it is clear that Afridi wants a firm batter in the opening.
Afridi Did Not Desist From Taking A Jibe At Babar Azam
Afridi wrote, ‘Please consider bringing Haris in the opening with Rizwan, and you (Babar) come at number three. After that, keep bringing in the best hitters. To win the match, you must be strict and flexible in the batting order (you can bat at any number).
@babarazam258 we need fire power at the top with batters who are showing clear intent like Haris and Shahdab. Plz consider Haris opening with Riz and you one down followed by ur next best hitter. You should be rigid on winning the match and flexible on a balanced batting line up

Babar Also Gave A Speech To The Players Before The Semi-final
Let us tell you that PCB has shared a video of Babar. In this, he is seen giving a speech to his players in the dressing room. Babar has told the players that the Pakistan team was almost on the verge of being eliminated from the semi-final race, but now it has got a light.
Everyone has to take advantage of this. Not to show your enthusiasm but to show it by performing on the field. Every player will have to take responsibility and whoever gets the chance comes only after finishing the match.
