Inzamam noted how Pakistan have a tendency to start slowly and he does not want the team to do the same in their semi-final encounter against Australia.
The Men in Green topped their group with five wins out of five to their name and are the only unbeaten side remaining in the tournament. Inzamam warned the team that scoring the bulk of the runs at the back end of the innings, as they have done so far in this tournament, will not be easy against a potent Australian bowling unit.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Inzamam said:
Pakistan’s opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been prolific, with the former being the leading runscorer in the tournament as well. The foundation laid by the openers has not been wasted, with the middle order batsmen backing it up with their displays as well.
Middle-order batting was deemed a concern heading into the tournament for Pakistan, but the performances of the likes of Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik have been crucial to the team’s success.

Inzamam added that all of the factors are in favor of Pakistan at the minute with the only minor concern being the form of Fakhar Zaman. The left-handed batsman, batting at No.3 in the current setup, has been struggling in the World Cup so far. Inzamam added:
Pakistan will look to add a second T20 World Cup title to their name after their triumph in the 2009 edition. They will face Australia in the second semi-final on Thursday (November 11) in Dubai.
