Former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis says he believes Pakistan can beat India in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates if they can play to their potential. He also thinks that the cricketers of both the teams will be under a lot of pressure as both the teams are starting their campaign with that match.
The T20 World Cup is going to start from October 16. India and Pakistan will meet on October 24. The India-Pakistan duality on the field of play is not limited to the field. Tensions spread outside the field. Undoubtedly, Walker’s statement added fuel to the fire.
So far, India and Pakistan have met 12 times in both the ODI and T20 World Cups. Pakistan has never been able to beat India. This time, Walker believes that Pakistan will be freed from the stigma of that series of defeats.
I believe Pakistan will win
“I really believe Pakistan can beat India in the first match if they play to their potential,” the pacer told Creekweek. Losing will not be easy, but we have many cricketers to win. The first match of the tournament will put pressure on both the teams. But you have to watch the first few balls and play the first few runs. Then we will win the match. ”
Hasan Ali will be the leader
The bowling of the Pakistan team is always strong. Their pacers have the ability to win matches with one hand. A few days ago, Waqar Younis resigned as the bowling coach of the Pakistan national team. Walker, who is optimistic about Pakistan’s bowling power, thinks Hasan Ali will lead the bowling.
Walker Younis said at the end, “Bowling has always been our strength. We also performed well in the 2017 Champions Trophy. I see no reason not to repeat that performance. I think Hasan Ali understands better than others when and what to do and that is why he is going to be the leader of the bowling department. Hasan has the skills and the determination to succeed on the big stage. ”
