Many experts and former cricketers have started making their opinions and predictions ahead of this big tournament in UAE. Former cricketers are predicting who can win the ICC T20 World Cup title this time.
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar, popularly known as the Rawalpindi Express, is often seen criticizing Pakistan. He believes the final of the T20 World Cup will be like its first season. He has said that India, captained by Virat Kohli, will take on Babar Azam-led Pakistan in the final of the tournament. However, Akhtar also claimed that this time the Pakistani team will win over India.
"I think Pakistan and India will play in the T20 World Cup final and India will lose to Pakistan," Shoaib Akhtar said on the YouTube channel to Sports. The conditions in UAE will be consistent with both India and Pakistan. Tell you that India has not lost to Pakistan in any World Cup, be it ODIs or T20s.
