Aaustralia vs Pakistan

The way Pakistan and Australia have reached at this stage implies that we could see somewhat similar scenario of what has happened last year between South Africa and Pakistan.

Comparing with last year’s performance Pakistan was not impressive this year. In their Super Eights they have only won two games with an inconsistent team. While Australia, like South Africa, have straightforwardly and with slight concern kept unlucky teams aside adequate to get in their way. Likewise Trent Bridge last year’s Pakistan is expecting to get favors from St Lucia.

But in fact, there’s nothing that can change facts that is Pakistan is going to face Australia not South Africa. Conditions that takes out soul from South Africa actually adds up life in Australia and the pressure of going to finals give them more zeal to deliver their best.

They also appear to have at last understood the format, or else applied their own version to it. Adapting fast bowlers instead of saving spinner, terrific openers and recovered middle order made them suitable.

Moreover, they have smacked Pakistan from everywhere from last ten international played in between them. And factually, they are the one least panicky by Pakistan’s demonstration if Pakistan is dreadful, they are accordingly beaten or if they are gleaming Australia vanquished it.

Pakistan has not improved much from last year. It fails miserably whenever it comes to prove their mettle. Considering the losses to England and New Zealand they only managed to secure a minor win.

Hoping their bowling can do wonder if key bowlers like Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman perform at their best taking along Afridi with some wicket taking tricks.

The pace trio, Dirk Nannes, Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson, of Australia, have honored the nation with 29 wickets in this tournament. Their talent is unmatched and difficult to stand against and if they continue to do so no one can stop it.

Pakistan needs to get worry about its run scoring capability that the Akmal brothers need to concern about. Leaving one inning Kamran hasn’t done well but has only provided a momentum for the start. Counting on Umar can be helpful for Pakistan provided he’ll perform accordingly.

Pitch and conditions are favorable to Pakistan.St. Lucia is a pitch that Pakistan prefers to play rather than Barbados.
