Pakistan Captain Babar Azam has said that he is confident heading into the ICC T20 World Cup semifinal against Australia at the Dubai International Stadium on November 11.
The Men-in-Green convincingly topped Group 2 of the tournament at the Super 12 stage, winning all five games against India, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland. They will now lock horns against in-form Australia.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, the skipper said playing as a unit is the reason behind the team’s consistent results in the mega event.
“We are confident about each other’s ability,” Babar said. “We are playing as a unit and hence playing consistent cricket.”
The 27-year-old said that he is confident to carry the winning momentum in the semifinal. “We’ll carry good confidence into the semi-finals and try to play in the same way,” he said.
Babar also praised the veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik for his brilliant power hitting which led Pakistan to a mammoth total of 189-4. “Shoaib, the way he finished, the way he showed his experience, that’s what he’s known for,” he said.
Moreover, the top-ranked T20I batter said that Pakistan have always enjoyed big support from the fans. “Definitely Dubai is one of the best stadiums. As a player, if you play in front of a whole crowd that cheers for you, your confidence increases.”
