T20 World Cup: Feel Pakistan Should Make The Final; Conditions Will Suit Them, Says Shahid Afridi
T20 World Cup: Pakistan’s former all-rounder Shahid Afridi believes the Babar Azam-led side can make it to the final of the upcoming 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, citing that the conditions for the mega event in the West Indies and the USA can suit the team.
Pakistan won the Men’s T20 World Cup in 2009 in England under Younis Khan’s leadership. They also have two runners-up finishes in the 2007 and 2022 editions of the showpiece event, apart from reaching the last-four stage in 2010, 2012, and 2021, respectively.
"I feel Pakistan should make the final. The reason is that the conditions (in the West Indies and the USA) suit our team. If we look at the spinners in our team, they are outstanding. They might not be in form but I know they will return in form. If we talk about fast bowling, it’s an incredible attack. In batting, we have great strength,” said Afridi to ICC.
