Twenty20 world Cup Final: Do you think that Pakistan will play Twenty20 (T20) Final?

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Do you think that Pakistan will play Twenty20 (T20) Final? No doubt that Pakistan is one of the strongest team in Twenty20 (T20) world cup. Depending on this strength Pakistan is going to play the semifinal along with New Zealand at Cape Town. Pakistan Captain Shoeb Malik keens not only to reach final but also win the Twenty20 Trophy. There are enough and establish cause, why Pakistan is strong. According to the cricket analysts, Pakistan bowling line is always strong but I think their batting line is also strong. Shoeb Malik and Shahid Afridi are seriously in form and also placed the position of Most Valuable Players (MVP) Twenty20 (T20). Shoeb Afridi is number one and Shoeb Malik is number eight.

For example, Shahid Afridi has so far scored 85 runs in 40 balls. But in his 40 balls, he was only expected to score 40 x 1.33 = 53.33 runs. So the difference of (85 - 53.33) = 31.67 is added to 85, to get a total of 116.67 batting points.

A bowler now gets 16 points for every wicket. Further, he is expected to concede 32 runs in his 4 overs. If he bowls economically and concedes less than 32 runs, the difference is added to his points tally. If he concedes more than 32 runs, the extra runs are deducted from his points.

We do not think that Shoeb Malik used a silly word. After observing all the matches and the strong mentality of the players, he expressed his opinion with media. What the result will come? We have to wait for 22 September.

Observing all the matches in Tweny20 (T20), Pakistan Captain keens to reach final and to win the trophy of Twenty20. In the qualified and super-8 round Pakistan beat some of super strong team like, Australia and Sri Lanka. Basically, Pakistan won the entire match except the match against India in qualified round. First time Pakistan drawn the match but was beaten by bowl out.

In a international online newspaper The News reported a news with the heading “Skipper wants T20 crown”. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said his team was looking beyond tomorrow’s semifinals after they laboured to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Newlands on Thursday.

“We had hiccups today,” Malik admitted. “We are much focused to improve on this performance,” he added

Malik said he wasn’t concerned about who Pakistan play on Saturday. “We have our sights set higher than the semifinals,” he said. “We are looking at winning the trophy,” he added.

He said he was told to play his natural game. “I went out to play as I do in domestic cricket and not worry about the opposition,” he said.

Yes, Pakistan captain could dream so because now they are the unbeaten team from super eight that reached Semi-final. Pakistan has a strong batting, bowling and fielding line-up. If they achieve more confidence in this one day gap by more practices then their dream will come true.
