The second semi-final of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between Pakistan and Australia in Dubai tomorrow. The penultimate match of this tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium will witness Pakistan and Australia playing a T20I against each other after a couple of years.
While Pakistan had topped the points table in Group 2 on the back of their unbeaten five-match spree in Super 12 matches, Australia had finished behind England in Group 1 after winning four and losing four matches.
Taking into play both the recent form and the over head-to-head record between each other, it wouldn’t be wrong to term Pakistan as the favourites for this match. Barring the ICC World Twenty20 2009, Australia and Pakistan have played each other in all the remaining T20 World Cups winning three matches each.
