If Pakistan control's the middle-order, they have a chance of winning T20 WC: Wasim Akram

KARACHI: Legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram said that the Green Shirts have the chance to win the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 if they control their fragile middle-order.

Pakistan's middle-order has been under fire recently after failing to perform in the T20 Asia Cup 2022 and the recently concluded series against England.

The middle-order vows continued in the ongoing tri-nation series in New Zealand, but Pakistan have reached the finals of the series

In an interaction with media on the sidelines of an event in Dubai, Wasim said: "India have a good batting line-up. But they still haven't named Bumrah's replacement. Pakistan, their middle-order is struggling. If the middle-order clicks, Pakistan have a very good bowling attack and one of the best opening pairs. So if they can control the middle-order, they have a chance."

"For the semifinals, what I would like to see is Australia, India and Pakistan. But South Africa could be a dark horse," he added.

Pakistan will take on India in their T20 World Cup 2022 opener at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on October 23.
