Former Pakistani Cricketer Makes Bold Prediction Ahead of India-Pakistan Match: Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah Key Players
After suffering a shocking defeat against the USA in their initial T20 World Cup 2024 encounter, Pakistan is determined to rejuvenate their campaign as they prepare to face India on June 9 at the Nassau County International Stadium.
The unexpected loss to the USA has raised concerns for Pakistan, who now face the risk of an early exit if they fail to overcome India.
Meanwhile, India enters the match with soaring confidence, having secured an impressive 8-wicket victory over Ireland, positioning themselves second in Group A behind the USA, who lead with four points from two matches.
As anticipation builds for the highly anticipated Indo-Pak clash, numerous cricket experts have offered their predictions, with many tipping India to hold the advantage. Adding to the anticipation, Pakistani all-rounder Fawad Alam has issued a caution to the Babar Azam-led squad while commending the prowess of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.
Alam, who last represented Pakistan in 2022, emphasized that Kohli and Bumrah possess match-winning abilities that could potentially turn the tide in India’s favor, presenting a formidable challenge for Pakistan.
“Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will make a significant impact for India in the match due to their experience and exceptional skills. They have the ability to turn the game in India’s favor,” Alam stated in an interview with PTI Videos. “India is a well-balanced team, and it will be a tough challenge to defeat them,” he added.
Alam expressed confidence in Mohammad Amir’s ability to deliver a performance similar to his outstanding display in the 2017 Champions Trophy final against India.
Amir, who faced criticism for his performance in the recent super-over against the USA, will be eager to make amends in the upcoming match.
