T20 World: Can Pakistan be second time lucky ?

New Delhi: The country which grabs the headlines for all the wrong reasons will look to provide some good news to its cricket fans. After faltering at the final of Asia Cup recently the 2009 champions will look to be the number one team in the tournament. Let's take a look on team Pakistan.A country with 190 million cricket mad population stood behind the national team whenever they participate in any major tournament. The country has remained neglected since the terrorist attack of 2009. Pakistan's cricket-mad population of 190 million people whenever the team participates in major tournaments. With the cricket world shying away from touring Pakistan since a 2009 terror attack, the team will look to win the major title.The most unpredictable team in the tournament. On any given day the team may come up with a stellar performance but on the other day they may simply fall apart like a pack of cards.The old horse is back with a bang. The couple of innings played by Shahid Afridi against India and Bangladesh in the recently held Asia Cup has increased the aspirations of lovers of Pakistani cricket. His well wishers will be hoping that he recovers very quickly from his hamstring injury and play with same excitement and vigour for his team. Pakistan is one of the few teams participating in the competition that will depend more on its bowling than its batting. The bowling attack will be led by T20's top wicket takers which include Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul and Afridi. The trio played a crucial role in helping Pakistan to lift the 2009 world T20. The only weak link that is going to hurt the team is the unavailability to find quality batsmen. The Pakistan cricket board has been to some extent been forced to call back the once rejected Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal for the tournament due to unavailability to find the replacement of these batsmen. The Pakistani team seemed to struggle hard to find a settled batting line up.
