Pakistan
A decent selection to choose from, though with as with Bangladesh having two good all rounds who can spin the ball is not as helpful as it could be. This is a team that can win the tournament but could also be taken about by one of the big teams.
We kick off with a routine thrashing of Oman before a narrow victory over New Zealand. A 15 run victory over India sets the pulses racing. Afghanistan are dispatched, as are Sri Lanka. The bowling is misfiring and is constantly shifting because a few of the seamers are struggling.
We play Ireland in the semi, who are no threat whatsoever and head into a final against England. We bat first and despite Wokes’ 5-31 we post 169-9. We take early wickets, Pope and Billings fight back, Stokes threatens to pull it their way and it all comes down to the last over…the last ball…we win by a run!
Position – winners – and very satisfying and close it was too
Player of the tournament – Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali led well with the ball, Imad Wasim was excellent but Mohammad Hafeez was the rock out batting was built upon, averaging 40.71 at a strike rate of 145.4
