Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022: Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team will be entering the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia as one of the favorites. Fans have high hopes from the Men-in-Green to win the coveted title as the team has done pretty well in the last few years in white-ball cricket. Pakistan's bowling attack is the key factor for them in T20 WC 2022, but their middle-batting order remains a big concern. Pakistan were even favorites in the last T20 World Cup, but luck did not favor them as Australia star batter Matthew Wade hammered Shaheen Afridi for three back-to-back sixes in penultimate over to win the semi-final, handing Pakistan a heartbreaking loss.
