Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer may have formed one of the formidable opening partnerships of all time in Test cricket while playing for Australia but now they find themselves in opposite camps as Australia take on Pakistan in the T20 World Cup semi-final.

While Langer has been at the helm of the Australian team since 2018, Hayden came on board to work with Pakistan after Misbah-ul-Haq stepped down as Pakistan head coach in the lead up to the T20 World Cup. Hayden has not had a lot of time to work with Babar Azam’s men but has made an instant impact with his presence in the dressing room. On the other hand, Langer has been under pressure with talks of dressing room rift and he would want to prove his naysayers wrong at the World Cup.

Australia will face a stiff test against Pakistan, who are the only team unbeaten so far in T20 World Cup 2021. Pakistan have shed their “unpredictable” tag and have been clinical so far. The presence of Hayden, who not only is aware of the skill sets of the Australian side but also the culture of the team, gives Pakistan an edge when they step out in Dubai.
