T20 World Cup: Pakistan’s fight for survival

Pakistan is taking to the field today to keep its hopes of reaching the Super Eights alive in the T20 World Cup. The team has no other option but to win against Namibia in the last match of the group stage. If it loses, it will be eliminated. As a result, Pakistan fans will have to attract extra attention at the Colombo Stadium today, Wednesday (February 18).
The shame of the 61-run defeat to India in the last match is not over yet. After the defeat, the team’s former cricketers have harshly criticized two veteran players, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam. Meanwhile, Salman Ali Agar’s team has taken a new concept for the Namibia match. Although it is an easy opponent, Pakistan will be under extra pressure in this match. Because if they lose, they will be eliminated. There is no way to look at the opponent easily in the shorter version of cricket. It is not uncommon for a big team to lose to a small team. The latest example of this is Australia’s defeat to Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan team management is hesitant when it comes to team selection. Some changes could come Salman Mirza and Fakhar Zaman are in the mix. Although Pakistan have relied heavily on spin in the past matches – the spinners bowled 13, 16 and 18 overs respectively. To change the rhythm, changes may have to be made in the bowling department. On the other hand, Namibia, the co-hosts of the 2027 World Cup, are ready to stop them. The team is determined to return with a win in the last match of the tournament. The unpredictable Pakistan always has supporters in numbers. Will Pakistan win today?
