Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has advised Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to open the innings in the upcoming T20 World Cup, scheduled for next month. Ali believes Babar should focus on playing the anchor role that Pakistan needs during the tournament rather than maintaining a high strike rate.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former batter stated, “Pakistan will benefit if Babar opens. I don’t know who has advised him to bat at No. 3. He should be the one batting through and not worry about the strike rate. Pakistan’s middle-order now has hard hitters, but the base at the top must be strong.”

This advice comes as teams are gearing up for the T20 World Cup, which will be held in the USA and the Caribbean from June 2 to June 29. Basit Ali also made bold predictions regarding the tournament’s semifinalists, stating that Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan would advance to the semifinals. He highlighted that both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan could be the giant killers in this year’s T20 World Cup due to the Caribbean conditions that favor Asian sides.

Babar Azam ability to provide stability at the top of the order and carry the innings through to the death overs is seen as a key strength. Basit Ali believes that utilizing Babar’s strengths to their fullest potential is crucial for Pakistan’s success.

Pakistan will kick off their campaign against the USA on June 6 in Dallas, followed by a highly anticipated match against arch-rivals India on June 9 in New York. The Men in Green will complete their group stage matches against Canada on June 11 and Ireland on June 16.
