Australia vs Pakistan on Friday and both teams have hopes of making the ICC World T20 2016 semifinals. Australia have never won the World T20 but capable of raising their game under pressure.
Batting continues to be Pakistan's main problem. The inability of the middle-order batsmen to step up cost Pakistan dear in the match against New Zealand.
Coach Waqar Younis' frustration has clearly brimmeth over. He said Pakistan do not deserve to be in the semis. That sums up the mood in the Pakistan camp. Pakistan have to really lift themselves out of this morass.
Two cricketers - Shahid Afridi and Shane Watson - are in the last lap of their careers and will like to go out with a bang. Perfectly capable, a good show from either of them can turn things on their heads.
Afridi showed glimpses of his boom-boom form in the first match against Bangladesh. After that, his controversial comments have made more headlines.
Watson is probably more dependable but Australia are yet to see the best of him in this World T20. David Warner's form has been a concern at the top. Is he being wasted at No. 4?
