STRENGTHS
The fast bowling of Pakistan is a bit strength and the return of Shaheen Shah Afridi is a big boost and the top order of Pakistan is a big strength as the top 2 score most of the runs.
WEAKNESSES
The middle order of Pakistan is a big weakness as there are no batters who can bat well consistently and at a high strike rate. And the spinners are good but they can be taken apart in Australia and the over reliance on the top 2 is also a big weakness.

OPPORTUNITIES
The young fast bowlers have a great opportunity in the conditions in Australia will help them get wickets and there is a great opportunity for Shan Masood to show the world why he should have been deserving of a spot in the Pakistan team for a long time.
THREATS
Other teams can exploit their middle order so that is a big Threat for the Pakistan team and the spinners can go for runs as well. The other teams can use the unpredictability of Pakistan to its advantages.
