Why Pakistan Team Fail to beat Australia in all Knockout Matches of World cups to date?
The Pakistan cricket team is still unbeaten in this T20 world cup
but there is a thing that the Pakistan team has never won a single knockout game
against the Australian side ever in any game, whether it was an ODI game or a t20
game. If we start from the beginning Pakistan lost in 1987. Then in 1999, then
in 2010, and finally in the 2015 world cup. So what were the scenarios of these games,
why Pakistan lost and lost under what conditions, and how it all can be changed
now will be discussed below:
1987 PAK
VS AUS 50 over world cup
It was the
semifinal match between AUS and PAK. Australia won this match by 18 runs. It
was played in Lahore.
1999 PAK
VS AUS 50 World cup
This match
was played at Lord's cricket ground in England, Australia won by 8 wickets in the
final match of the world cup game.
PAK VS AUS Semifinal 2010 T20 world cup
If we talk about the most terrible match
in the history of Pakistan cricket was the 2010 semifinal match, maybe I am not wrong.
Michel Hussy hit 4 consecutive against Saeed Ajmal bowling. Pakistan has never
forgotten about this match.
PAK VS AUS Quarterfinal 2015 50 world cup
This is the very famous match that we are
not forgetting because Pakistan is out in the knockout stage against Australia. Wahab Riaz
bowled a great spell against Shane Watson, but his performance was wasted because
Rahat Ali missed the catch opportunity of Shane Watson and that’s why Pakistan
lost the match.
THE BIG
GAME (PAK VS AUS t20 WC 2021 semifinal)
Now things are quite changed from the earlier game Pakistan
lost to Australia. This game is totally different in all scenarios as this
UAE is a second home for Pakistanis and they are aware of the entire conditions of
these pitches and conditions of the match and if we go towards the stat Pakistan
has won 9 out of 13 games played against
Australia on these venues. And this time Pakistan team is a totally different
team which has not been beaten by any team in group stages, Pakistan is the most consistent
and unbeaten team in this world cup. Our bowling and batting combinations are
perfectly on point and on the other hand batting of Australians Is struggling
and the reason behind this is clear as they like to play on bouncy Australian tracks
but here the spin plays a major role and Pakistan team has an edge in all
department on Australians. So this time Pakistan team can easily win this
knockout game against Australia.
