<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Pakistan hoping for improved batting show</span></span></strong></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">The home side may have won the previous two matches convincingly but they must feel that they left a lot to be desired in terms of their batting efforts on both occasions. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Apart from opener Babar Azam and all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez none of the batsmen have made their mark during their series up till now.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">The backend of the innings have been a particularly worrying factor as Pakistan lost wickets in a heap in both matches in that phase. They lost seven wickets for just 28 runs in the first T20I while in the next match they went on to lose five wickets for 32 runs. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">&nbsp;With the New Zealand series scheduled to begin shortly after the culmination of this series, Pakistan batsmen would be hoping to get some runs under their belt before they lock horns with the Kiwis. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Glenn Maxwell&rsquo;s innings gave them an outside chance of toppling the home side in the second T20 but it generally Australia have found themselves behind the game<strong> </strong>throughout the series. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">The bowlers kept them in with a chance by not letting Pakistan post a massive total on the board &mdash; in both matches &mdash; but their efforts were nullified by the lack of application shown by the batsmen.&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">If Australia wants to salvage some of their pride, their batsmen will have to show up with a proper plan to counter the Pakistan bowlers and especially their spinners. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Pakistan spinners have picked up eight wickets over the course of the first two matches at a miserly economy rate of 4.73, which speaks volumes about their effectiveness. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Imad Wasim&rsquo;s nagging line and length supplemented by his variations of pace have totally bamboozled the Aussies while Shadab Khan has also challenged the batsmen with his sharp leg-spin bowling. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Australian batsmen went too hard too early<strong> </strong>during the first match while they adopted a more cautious approach in the next match but on both occasions their tactics failed miserably as they were unable to find the right balance between attacking and defending. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">If the visitors want to avoid a clean sweep in the series, they will have to quickly learn from their mistakes in order to neutralise the Pakistan spinners. </span></span></span></span></p>
