T20 World Cup: Pak vs Aus semi-final, Brian Lara Predicts winning team

T20 World Cup 2021 New Zealand booked their place in the final on Wednesday with a thrilling 5-wicket win over England. Now it is the turn of Pakistan and Australia to fight it out. The second semi-final is slated for a Thursday evening and will be played at Dubai. Former West Indies captain and batting legend Brian Lara has made his prediction for the match.

Babar Azam’s team is unbeaten in the tournament while Aaron Finch’s Australian juggernaut has suffered just one loss. Pakistan started their campaign with a thumping 10-wicket win over arch-rivals India and kept the momentum going with victories over New Zealand, Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland to qualify from Group 2 of the Super 12 stage as the top ranked team.

The Aussies suffered a loss at the hands of the rampaging England side, but beat every other team to edge the South Africans on net run-rate. Pakistan hold an edge over Australia in the T20I head-to-head, having won 12 and lost 9. Both teams have skilled batsmen and bowlers and have almost everything covered. It will thus come down to performances on the given day.

Former West Indies captain and batting legend Brian Lara has made his prediction for the match. He has picked Babar Azam’s side to go through to the final and also given his reason for the same.
