Pakistan have been in good T20I form having won the recently concluded Tri Series against New Zealand and Bangladesh. They were runners-up in the Asia Cup in the UAE. The bowling attack and a strong top order have been the big positives for Pakistan. Mohammed Nawaz has been a game-changing all-around option for them in the middle order. The biggest concern for the Men in Green is that they have a brittle middle order.

They would want to rectify this come the first game of the 20-20 World Cup. They are going to face India in their 20-20 World Cup opener. They are in Group 2 with India, Bangladesh and South Africa along with the two teams from the qualifiers. The Pakistan Cricket Board have uploaded a video on Twitter that talks about their travel from New Zealand to Australia via flight.

Here is the video

In the video, they left New Zealand by Air and landed in Australia. In the video, the players can be seen having some fun and interacting in a fun manner with each other. The video shows that upon their arrival in Australia, The Pakistanis meet up with the Australian skipper Aaron Finch.

Harris Rauf can be seen having an animated conversation with Aaron Finch. Rauf will be the one to play a big role for Pakistan considering that he has had prior stints in the Big Bash League for the Melbourne Stars in Australia. Babar Azam joined the conversation with Finch and Rauf and the two can be seen chatting. Rauf can also be seen interacting with Mohammad Nabi in the video. The two tugged into an embrace and hugged each other warmly.
