On Thursday, October 27, at the Perth Stadium, Pakistan will play Zimbabwe in a Super 12 matchup for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. After a heartbreaking loss in a nail-biting final over against India in a must-see match, the Men in Green would be anxious to get on the scoreboard with a victory.
However, Pakistan has reason to be optimistic since their middle order is reaching its full potential at the perfect moment. Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed both scored 50s to help Pakistan record a respectable total of 159 against India after captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were removed in the Powerplay. The Green Men are in last place in the standings, with a negative net run differential of -0.050.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would consider itself quite fortunate given that they avoided losing by 10 wickets to South Africa. Quinton de Kock's scorching 47 got them almost there, but the game had to be called off because of rain with the scores tied.

Shan
Masood is the most promising hitter.
After losing Babar and Rizwan for easy runs on the bouncy MCG surface, Pakistan's only hope was a brilliant performance by Shan Masood. After a cautious start, Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed rebuilt the innings. The southpaw batted.500 against 42 overs.
Haris Rauf is the team's best bet as a bowler.
The
Pakistani team's most economical bowler, Haris Rauf, may have been costly
towards the end of the match against India's archrivals, but he was still
crucial to Pakistan's victory. Rauf concluded with superb bowling stats of
2/36, including the wickets of captain Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
