The best fast bowlers in the world have always come from Pakistan. One of the top contemporary cricketing trios is made up of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah. Pakistan has one of the top wicketkeeper-batters in the world, Mohammad Rizwan. Their batting appears to be in good shape as well, with players like Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam averaging over fifty. Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz, two all-around players, give the team the right amount of diversity.
In light of all that was mentioned above, former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq urged the “Men in Green” to stick with their starting lineup even if they lose their forthcoming match against bitter rivals India on Saturday, September 2.
The current Pakistan XI is balanced, as you can see. In the center of the lineup are competent batters and all-arounders. You may pace and spin attack with full vigor. You are well equipped. The greatest combo is to have the same team, so you should have it. You shouldn’t change the present lineup even if we lose the game against India. The best team we have is this one, Abdul Razzaq told GEO Super.

Considering Pakistan’s win/loss statistics in ODIs in 2023
This year, Pakistan has played well in ODI cricket. They have already played 12 ODIs this year, including the match against Nepal. Babar and company won nine games and lost three. They defeated New Zealand five times, Afghanistan three times, and Rohit Paudel’s team once in the Asia Cup opening match.
They hosted the Blackcaps for a three-match series in January. Pakistan won the first game but lost the following two, giving the visitors a 2-1 series victory. In April–May, New Zealand traveled back to Pakistan to compete in a five-match ODI series. The Indian Premier competition’s elite players were permitted to participate in this assignment because it conflicted with the lucrative competition.
The backup team that went to Pakistan dropped four straight ODIs before succeeding in winning the fifth. The team of Babar won the series 4-1. Pakistan traveled to Sri Lanka to play Afghanistan in a three-match series prior to the Asia Cup. The Asian superpowers defeated Hashmatullah Shahidi’s team 3-0 thanks to some commanding cricket.
