Pakistan hold optional training session in Perth ahead of Zimbabwe clash

PERTH: Pakistan cricket team engaged in the optional training session here on Wednesday ahead of the Green Shirts’ second ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 clash against Zimbabwe, scheduled tomorrow. 

According to the details, captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shahnawaz Dahani, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Muhammad Haris, Fakhar Zaman and Usman Qadir participated in the team’s optional training session at Perth Stadium.

The Babar-led side will be eyeing for their first win of the T20 World Cup as they face Zimbabwe, who made their way into Group 2 after defeating Ireland and Netherlands in the first round. The match will start at 4:00 PM(PST).

The team had a productive day as the players went through rigorous batting and bowling net practice during the session.

Earlier on Monday, the team had travelled to Perth from Melbourne, where they played their opening encounter of the tournament against the arch-rivals India at the jam-packed Melbourne Cricket Ground.

After a close defeat at the hands of India in the nerve-wracking contest on Sunday, the Green Shirts have very little to no margin of error in their upcoming group matches in order to qualify for the semifinal.
