Former Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq has cautioned the Men in Green ahead of their T20 World Cup semi-final clash against Australia in Dubai.

While speaking on his official YouTube channel, the legendary batter termed Pakistan as favourites among the two but feels Australia is a big match team and one cannot take them lightly.

"Australia is a big match team," said Inzamam. "The bigger the match, the better they play. Pakistan will have to play good cricket to beat them.”

Meanwhile, Inzamam thinks that Pakistan batters are looking in great touch apart from Fakhar Zaman while Aussies have their in-form batters at the top only.

"After the India-Pakistan clash, this match is the biggest among all. Both teams are playing superb cricket but Pakistan hold an advantage as most of their batters are in form while Australia have David Warner, captain Aaron Finch and Mitchell Marsh are batting well. Their middle-order have not been in great form lately," he added.

It must be noted that the winner of tonight's game will face New Zealand in the final on November 14. Blackcaps thumped England by five wickets in the first semi-final and qualified for their first-ever T20 World Cup final.
