Senior batter Asad Shafiq expressed his hopes last Sunday that Pakistan would compete with Australia despite a disastrous test record down under. Talking to journalists at a media session at the National Stadium, 33-year-old Right Hand said Pakistan couldn't win any series in Australia, but sometimes he had a chance to beat Australians in his backyard.
Day / Night series opener
Finally when we went there, we had an almost famous victory in Brisbane's Day / Night series opener,” Asad stood out for the game with the best knocking power of 137 at the game. "After all, we lost only 39 runs, and if luck was with us, the result of the last series would be a different story. Side, led by Steve Smith, won the remaining two tests in Melbourne, and Pakistan, led by current director and general manager Misbah-ul-Haq on a tour before 2016-17, suffered a 3-0 white wash.
The newly appointed captain Azhar Ali moved his bat in the first inning with Sydney. In fact, Australia has been tested three times in the last four home series against Pakistan led by Steve War between 1999 and 2000. In the subsequent rubbers of 2004-05 and 2009-10, Ricky Ponting led the home team. Pakistan had no choice but to defeat Australians.
The last success Wasim Akram won 74 wins in 96 wins in 1995 resumed between 1995 and 96. Australia's conditions must be uncommon for visiting teams. The stadium is true and difficult in most places. Gabba prefers fast bowling and there is hope if the bowling alley bowls in the right area, ”Asad said.
On the last trip, even though we had experienced bowlers, the wicket option was negligible, so more bowling disappointed Pakistan than hitting.
People can never predict but this time
I think the bowlers of the squad have the potential to surprise Australians. For example, Nasim Shah has the ability to plunder them, and for someone 16 years old, Sindh Batman was found in a match against Faisalabad's Quaid-e-Azam Trophy against this young man. It's amazing how amazing speed it is. Nasim bothered us with his speed and lateral movement throughout the game.
He claimed nine turnstiles and almost sealed Central Punjab's victory. There is no doubt that [Nasim] could be Pakistan's X-factor in the upcoming test series. Meanwhile, since debuting in 2010-11, Asad recorded 4323 times in 69 tests with an average of 39.94 for 23 and a half years in the 12th and 23rd centuries. . Retired in 2017.
Azhar and I are the most experienced hitters in terms of testing, and we have a big responsibility given that Pakistan has been trying to raise a lot of money lately. Unfortunately this is what we still want to solve after Younis and Misbah retire.
Asad admitted. “If everything goes well, you can succeed. The nice thing is that since mid-September, the domestic season is going on in earnest, I'm participating in the [Australia] series through intense competition.
Bismah Maroof and Salma Khatun
Pakistani women's team captain Bismah Maroof and her Bangladeshi Salma Khatun looked forward to an exciting tournament with the T20 International series trophy between the two countries unveiled at Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday.

But she expected good competitive cricket to be played, regardless of the outcome. Both teams practiced at Gadapi Stadium.
