An important match is going to take place between Pakistan and Australia at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. Both teams need to win this match to stay alive in the tournament. Pakistan is at NO.4 while Australia is at No.4 after completing their 3rd round. If Pakistan wants to win this match they need to come with a better spin bowling attack. Shadab Khan and Muhammad Nawaz both are out of form with the bowl. So, Usama Mir replacement is compulsory now for Pakistan. But who will be out the for Usama Mir, Nawaz, or Shadab?
Usama Mir will be a better replacement for Muhammad Nawaz because he is also out of form. Shadab Khan can also be replaced because he is also a leg spinner. But he is the Vice Captain and a utility player. He is a good batter down the order, a live wire in the fielding, and a good bowler too but out of form these days.
Muhammad Nawaz is also a utility player but his performances are below far since the Afghanistan series. So, the management should take some board decisions to make the bowling lineup strong.
Fakhar Zaman has already been ruled out of the match so, he can’t be in the playing 11. A few days ago Pakistan players were suffering from a viral fever. Things are not going Pakistan’s way. They have to play well to Australia.
