Pakistan and New Zealand will meet on November 9 in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022. In this important match, the Pakistan team can make big changes in their strategy. This change can be in the team’s opening batting and powerplay bowling.
Mohammad Haris can be seen opening the Pakistani innings in the T20 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. In fact, the current captain of the Pakistan team, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, has completely failed in this World Cup. Especially Babar Azam is also struggling with his form in this tournament. Babar has been able to score only 39 runs in 5 games played so far. In such a situation, Mohammad Haris can be seen opening with Mohammad Rizwan instead of Babar in the semi-finals.
In fact, Mohammad Haris, who joined the team from the Pakistan reserve player, has breathed a new life as soon as he came to the Pakistan team. He has scored runs in his 2 games with a strike rate of 203. In the first game, he scored 28 runs on 11 balls against South Africa and 31 runs on 18 balls against Bangladesh in the second game. His fast-paced tackles had given Pakistan a boost, with the help of which the Pakistani team was able to win these two matches. At the same time, many former Pakistani veterans Shahid Afridi and Waqar Younis also demanded to send Haris to the inauguration.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam can bowl against Mohammad Nawaz on the power play in the semi-final against New Zealand. Actually New Zealand starters Devon Conway and Finn Allen hit very aggressively against fast bowling. They both love to bowl fast. However, both batsmen seem to be a bit stuck against spin. In such a situation, Babar Azam may risk throwing Mohammad Nawaz into the power play in view of this.
