‘My Heart Says Pakistan but…’: Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram Make Honest Pitch Claim for IND vs PAK T20 WC Prediction

Legendary Pakistani cricketers Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram have made a bold prediction for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan.

Despite admitting that their hearts support Pakistan, both Younis and Akram believe that India will have a slight advantage due to the pitch conditions in Melbourne.

Akram’s Analysis:

Former fast bowler Wasim Akram believes that India’s experience of playing on similar pitches in the IPL will give them a slight edge. Akram stated, “The pitch in Melbourne is similar to the ones in India. The Indian team is more familiar with these conditions and has a better chance of adapting quickly.”

Younis’ Opinion:

Echoing Akram’s sentiments, Waqar Younis explained that the pitch is likely to be slow and provide more assistance to spinners. He said, “The slower nature of the pitch will make it difficult for batsmen to score freely. Pakistan has a quality spin attack, but India has more experienced spinners like Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin.”

Neutral Verdict:

While both Younis and Akram acknowledge their emotional bias towards Pakistan, they have made their predictions based on objective factors such as pitch conditions and team composition. They believe that India’s better understanding of the Melbourne surface and their strong spin bowling arsenal give them a slight advantage.
