World Cup 2023: Pakistan Team Preview, Squad, Key Players & Their Form, Match List, Playing XI, and Prediction: Pakistan have already started practising for the World Cup 2023, and they have a good, experienced squad, which makes them one of the best team in the world.
Pakistan played good cricket in the past few months and made some errors, but now, Pakistan has a great chance to win the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 as some of their key players are in good form, like Skipper Babar Azam Mohd. Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Harish Rauf.
In the last month, Pakistan failed to qualify for the Asia Cup finals as Sri Lanka defeated them. Pakistan have good batting depth, and middle-order batters scored plenty of runs in the Asia Cup, but the main concern is their bowling, as they don’t have any quality spinners in their squad except Shadab and Nawaz.
Overall, Pakistan will compete well with the other teams, and their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals are high. They will play their first match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against the Netherlands on October 6, 2023.
