Former Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Amir made another bold prediction about Team India's T20 World Cup campaign as well. Amir, who had supported West Indies to beat India in the Super 8 match, has now said that England has the upper hand against India in the semi-final on Thursday.
“It’s a match on a good wicket. Like Rashid Bhai said, if England bat second, there will be more chances. Because it’s a high-scoring game in Mumbai,” he said on the Haarna Mana Hai show.
‘If you look at their overall batting, it is not in form’ – Mohammad Amir on Team India
With the likes of Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson performing only in fewer games, Amir does not feel Team India are ready to sail into the final yet. Meanwhile, the form of Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav is also a concern for India as well.
“But if you talk about India, only one or two of their batters are performing. That batter often takes it all the way, but only one or two are able to perform. If you look at their overall batting, it is not in form. Ishan Kishan only performed against us. Abhishek Sharma is out of form. Tilak Verma did not make an impact. Suryakumar Yadav has done nothing since he came into the Super 8s. Sanju has done it. Bumrah is doing it,” he said.
“You cannot be sure that this team will dominate. I think England will be the favourites,” Mohammad Amir concluded.
