Australia Won By 21 Runs – Pakistan vs Australia T20 World Cup 2016 Match Highlights & Result Winner

Match 26 coming way and going to be an absolute thriller. After India winning against Bangladesh, they’ve limited both these team chances. So, it will be an important for both these teams point of view.

As the cup progresses, wins are decided on win runrate, and exactly is the situation of Group B. First, Pakistan will have to win both their matches in order to stay in the competition. If Australia wins, it all comes down to India vs Australia for the decider of semi-final second spot. Either way, both these teams will have to win all their remaining matches.

Pakistan vs Australia

Australia – Not a strong team, but enough to stand-up against Pakistan. Even after getting a great start against Pakistan, the middle-order just got collapsed. Even if they won the match, it wasn’t a clinical one.

Not just the middle order, the bowling attack doesn’t look good too. The formula isn’t working well, it will be interesting to see how they work in Mohali. The openers attack will be tested against great bowling attack.
Pakistan – This is been going on and on, everyone lift questions on their batting, they say we have improved, they again disappoint. Losing against New Zealand have not only, limited their chances of staying in WC but most probably knocked themselves out.

The batting looks shaky and all they have done is to stay dependent on their bowlers. If they have any hopes to stay in WC 2016, they will have to step-up as a team, not a bowling side.
