Pakistan will lock horns with South Africa in the 36th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. The Sydney Cricket Ground will host this all-important Group 2 fixture on Thursday.
Pakistan didn’t have the best of starts to the tournament. They lost to India in their opening fixture at the MCG. They failed to bounce back as they lost a hard-fought contest against Zimbabwe. The Asian giants registered their first win of the tournament when they beat the Netherlands in their most recent clash.
This is a do-or-die match for Pakistan, and a defeat here will end their campaign in the T20 World Cup. Babar Azam has been going through a rough phase, and he would want to score some runs in this match. The spin duo of Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan will be vital here in Sydney.
A win in this match will seal a semi-final spot for the South African side. The way this team is playing so far in the T20 World Cup is amazing to watch, and they registered an emphatic win over India in the last match in Perth. Although, the team can be tempted to bring Tabraiz Shamsi in this match looking at the pitch.
