Pace Bowling Options: Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, Wahab Riaz, and Mohammad Hasnain

Pakistan apparently don't believe in pace bowling all-rounders and are the only Asian side to go in with more than 4 specialist pacers for the tournament. Their pace bowling resources have been tremendous over the years and despite a poor performance in the recent series against England, Pakistan have a very strong pace battery.

Hasan Ali has done a tremendous job since his advent during the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and will be the leader of the pack. The 3 left-arm pacers, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, and Wahab Riaz provide a lot of variety amidst themselves. Riaz has been around since the 2011 World Cup and adds valuable experience while Shaheen has been a revelation ever since he made his debut.

With fiery Mohammad Hasnain in their ranks too, Pakistan a pace attack similar to the tag they bear, 'Dark Horse' and they can emerge to be one by the end of the tournament.have
