With Babar in sparkling form, opening partner Mohammad Rizwan having scored more T20 runs in 2021 than anyone ever has in a calendar year - Rizwan's haul of 1,676 topping the 1,665 managed by Chris Gayle in 2015 - their veterans firing with the bat and an all-bases-covered bowling attack, it will take an excellent side to beat Pakistan next week. "I think it calms him down a bit. I think it slows him down, it makes him concentrate. And once he starts getting away and he starts finding that 60 with his first [scoring] dart, he's a real danger. No one is going to have it easy against him." "We can't afford to get too hung up on it, our focus for the last few weeks has been on what we are good at and what we can do. Now, we need to continue to do that because if you start questioning what's going on in the Leeds camp, then your focus is in the wrong place." The only previous hat-trick in the T20 World Cup was recorded by Australia's Brett Lee, who took three Bangladesh wickets in consecutive balls at the first edition of the tournament in 2007.
