Before the semi-final, Finch made a big statement about Shaheen Afridi, tomorrow is Australia-Pakistan match

Aaron Finch on Shaheen Afridi: Captain Aaron Finch said on Wednesday that when Australia face Pakistan in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup, they will need to tackle Shaheen Shah Afridi’s inswing balls in the power play overs. Pakistan won all the five matches of the group league, but Shaheen Afridi’s fatal spell in the opening match of Super 12 against India is still a topic of discussion in the T20 tournament.

Aaron Finch said in the press conference held on the eve of the match, “Shaheen is in very good form for Pakistan. Yes, so this is going to be an important match, no doubt about it. There is no doubt about the importance of the six overs of the power play.” While talking, Finch said, I think we have seen throughout the tournament how important the Powerplay overs are for batting and bowling.

He added, “I think the figures for the middle overs and the death overs have remained almost the same throughout the tournament, but the powerplay definitely matters.” Although he does not give much importance to losing the toss, he said, “I think to be honest when it comes to the finals, it doesn’t matter much.”

He said, “I believe in getting runs on the board, especially in the final, which can be really beneficial. We have talked about it. We are confident that if we get to bat first or second innings Even if we do, we can win.”

He also said that looking at Pakistan’s current form, he is very cautious as the opposition team’s spin attack is also very good, which includes Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Hafeez. Finch said that Pakistan’s spin has given him a lot of success, with Imad bowling brilliantly in the powerplay and Shadab in the middle overs.
