Co-hosts India have been brilliant in the tournament so far, winning both matches so far. Pakistan have also started their campaign with a bang, emerging victorious in both matches, even if it was a narrow escape against the Netherlands.
However, their poor performances against India in the T20 World Cups remain a matter of concern. In eight matches, the Men in Green managed to beat their rivals only once, suffering seven defeats. With the pressure mounting and expectations sky-high, Pakistan will be confident that the match winners will tip the scales in their favor.
Here are three Pakistani players who could pose a threat to India:
3. Shaheen Afridi
The left-arm maestro from Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi will be one of the biggest threats to India. He delivered a breathtaking spell of 3/31 against India in the 2021 T20 World Cup, giving Pakistan its first-ever win over India in World Cups.
This time too, Pakistan will be banking on their premier fast bowler to take on the Indian challenge. If Shaheen removes the Indian top order cheaply, it will give the Men in Green an opportunity to restrict Suryakumar Yadav’s team to a low total.
