Pakistan have been ablaze in the WCL 2024 as they have recently lost one match, which was their last gathering outing against South Africa.
The Green Shirts, drove by Younis Khan, crushed Australia, India, Britain and West Indies in the gathering stage and are in excellent condition.
In the semi-last against West Indies, subsequent to setting the 199-run focus on, the Pakistani bowlers exhibited a splendid showcase and moved their group to the competition's conclusive. Sohail Khan was Pakistan's best entertainer with the ball as he sacked four wickets and confined the West Indies to 178 runs.
Then again, India came to the competition's semi-last due to having a superior Net Run Rate (NRR) than South Africa as they had recently won two of their five gathering matches.
Nonetheless, in the semi-last against Australia, India gave an embarrassing 86-pursue rout ruling them both with the ball as well as the bat.
Pursuing the gigantic 255-run target, Australia were never in the game as the Indian bowlers ruled the adversaries all along.
The Indian bowlers kept on disturbing the Aussies, who finished up their innings at 168-7 in the assigned overs.
