PAK vs AUS T20I ICC T20 World Cup, 2021 Match Preview:
The Second Semi-Final match of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2021, will be played between Pakistan and Australia at the venue of Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Thursday.
The Pakistan side has been unstoppable in the tournament and is the only team that is unbeaten.
Babar Azam and his men have stepped up in every department of the game. The openers are in good form, the Pakistan middle order is firing, and the bowling department is also in good shape as well.
Pakistan will enter this match after a rousing win over the Scotland side in their final Group stage match. The ‘Men in Green’ posted a mammoth total of 189/4 on the board, and restricted their opposition to a score of just 117/6.
On the other hand, Australia will enter the knockouts after posting 4 wins in 5 matches in the Super 12 stages of the tournament. In their final group stage match, the kangaroos decimated the West Indies side with 8 wickets in the kitty.
Even though the West Indian outfit posted a decent total of 157/7 in their allotted 20 overs, Australia chased down the target with ease, with opener David Warner scoring a masterly 89*. These two teams have met in the knockout stages of the T20 World Cup just once before, and that was in the 2010 T20 World Cup semifinal. And, Michael Hussey’s 24-ball 60* helped Australia chase down a mammoth target of 192 set by the Pakistan side in that match.
Both teams will look to outdo the other, and there are no second chances at this stage of the tournament. Which side will live to fight another day?
