In the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan returns as hungry contenders, their sights firmly fixed on the coveted trophy. The Men in Green will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on June 6th against USA in Texas. Pakistan emerged victorious in the second edition of the tournament in 2009, defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets at Lord’s.
This Pakistani team is a potent mix of experience and youthful exuberance. The batting lineup features the ever-reliable Babar Azam, a master of classical strokes, alongside the explosive Mohammad Rizwan, known for his fearless hitting. Young guns like Asif Ali and Haider Ali bring an exciting brand of cricket, injecting power and unpredictability into the middle order.
Pakistan’s bowling attack is a force to be reckoned with. The return of veterans like Mohammad Amir, with his lethal swing bowling, and Imad Wasim, the wily all-rounder, bolsters their bowling depth. Shaheen Afridi, the young pace sensation, continues to impress with his raw pace and wicket-taking abilities.
Pakistan’s T20 World Cup journey in 2024 begins with a clash against USA on June 6 in Dallas. Following this, they will face their arch-rivals India on June 9 in New York. On June 1, Pakistan will take on Canada, also in New York. Finally, they will play against Ireland on June 16 in Lauderhill.
