Pakistan’s Expected Playing XI vs. New Zealand in Crucial World Cup Match
Pakistan’s cricket squad, commonly known as the “Green Shirts,” is currently surging with momentum and is focused on prolonging their winning streak to solidify their position for the ICC Cricket World Cup semi-finals. Following a comfortable victory against Bangladesh in their last game, Pakistan is set to stick with the same starting lineup that secured a convincing 7-wicket win.
A significant contributor to Pakistan’s recent triumphs has been the remarkable comeback of Fakhar Zaman. Substituting Imam-ul-Haq, Zaman made an immediate impact by scoring an impressive 81 runs from 74 balls, featuring seven powerful sixes. His aggressive batting approach, coupled with Abdullah Shafique’s contribution of 68 runs, has strengthened the team’s top-order batting.
Given the outstanding form displayed by Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique, it’s unlikely that Pakistan will make alterations in this department. The anticipated playing XI will feature prominent players like captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Usama Mir, M. Wasim Jr., Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf.
With this cohesive and in-form lineup, Pakistan is committed to extending their winning streak and elevating their chances of progressing to the semi-finals, cementing their status as a team to watch in the ICC Cricket World Cup. Enthusiastic fans eagerly await further exhilarating performances from the Green Shirts in the upcoming matches.
