Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam looked forward to a better result in the next upcoming ICC Twenty20 World Cup. As his team had performed poorly during previous world cups. From being semifinalists in 2021 to runners-up in the next year, Pakistan is eager to flip the coin in the 2024 session.
Yet, the journey to a T20 World Cup triumph for the Pakistan cricket team lies in overcoming the odds, maintaining a solid run, and proven performances.
Chaotic Build-up

Tournament preparation for the Pakistani team has not been very smooth, with Babar Azam being appointed as captain of the side only three months before the event. Still, it is striking that the team was able to secure a 2-2 tie in a T20 series against New Zealand and then recover and win the series against Ireland after having lost the first match.
The irregularity could be seen to some extent in their playing style, which makes them one of the most unpredictable teams in the upcoming event. Probably as bright as a star and as low as a sinker the following day, the Pakistani team has an incredible ability to swing spectators to the edge of their seats.

Lying in Group A, Pak is gearing up for competition with teams like India, the United States, Canada, and Ireland. Being a knockout tournament with only the top two teams qualifying for the Super Eight round. Pak has more crucial games to play.
Even when playing against very strong teams, such as India, with world-class players, Babar Azam is full of optimism about his team. According to him, it is Pak’s turn to take this trophy this time; he reasons that their potential belongs in the semi-final, final stage of success.
Since the team’s World Cup exit from the 50-over Cup last year, Pak cricket has gone through several dynamic changes. With switches in the coaching team and captaincy, along with employable tactics to improve fitness and players’ skills, everything directed towards the World Cup is not left unturned by Pakistan.

Player Motivation
To further motivate the players, the PCB announced a substantial bonus for each player if they secure victory in the World Cup. Additionally, the inclusion of experienced players like Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim aims to bolster the team’s bowling attack.
While Pakistan boasts a formidable batting lineup led by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, concerns linger over the team’s approach and consistency. The middle order, featuring players like Fakhar Zaman and Azam Khan, needs to step up and complement the bowlers for Pakistan to emerge victorious.
