They are placed in Group B alongside India, South Africa, Bangladesh, and two qualifiers. With the big names in the squad of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi, it is likely that they will be among the top two teams in the group.
Also, they are having a great preparation ahead of the event as they are facing form English team in the seven-T20I series at home. If they manage to win the series, they would be entering the event with great confidence and can also go on to win the tournament. Notably, they reached the semi-finals in the T20 World Cup 2021.

The 15-member Pakistani squad will be led by Babar Azam with Shadab Khan being the vice-captain of the side. They have also named in form Shan Masood in the side along with Shaheen Afridi, who will be making his comeback after an injury. The rest of the squad has familiar names and if they play well they can reach great heights.
