“Pakistan is an unpredictable side and can beat anyone. I won’t compare the two teams as they both play differently and I don’t think we should be focussing too much on past records because they haven’t played each other too much. Statistics come into the picture when both teams have played each other a lot and one has won the most. The team we have on paper, we should be beating Pakistan easily but it all depends on what you do once you are on the playing field,” Singh told on Sportskeeda’s Special World Cup show.
Additionally, India and Pakistan have battled five times matches with unable to win any of them. The two sides featured in the first season’s final in 2007. When India emerged victorious by six runs. Alternatively, Akhtar underlined that T20 cricket suits Pakistan. It is a tough side. However, he is unsure of its chances against Virat Kohli.
“Pakistan is a very formidable side. T20 type of cricket suits us because we have the patience. I can’t say much about Pakistan when they are chasing. Pakistan is batting first and can score about 160-170, but India certainly has the batters to chase down the total.”
