“India will come up with proper planning this time around. It will not be easy for Pakistan to beat India in T20 WC this time,” the former Test cricketer said.
“Predicting match results now is quite difficult but Pakistan should bowl second as pitch in Melbourne offers bounce to fast bowlers,” he added.
Shoaib Akhtar further stated that this year’s Pakistan vs. India match will attract a record attendance of approximately 150,000 spectators.
“I believe the crowd will be bigger this time. Around 150,000 fans will watch the match line in Melbourne. Out of which, 70,000 will be Indian supporters,” he said.
