At their best, Pakistan can instill fear in any opponent.
Pakistan, led by Babar Azam as captain and with his batting prowess, and Shaheen Shah Afridi as a force with the ball, cannot be ruled out as favourites despite being seventh in the ICC T20 team rankings.

It will be a test of Pakistan’s depth of talent, with Saim Ayub proving to be an excellent complement to Babar at the top.
Fakhar Zaman has shown flashes of power-hitting ability in a middle-order that also includes Babar’s former talented opening partner Mohammed Rizwan.
