Pakistan cricket team, the most unpredictable team in the World, hasn’t been playing well during recent times, however, the side will still enter as one of the favorites in the upcoming World Cup.
This may sound a bit unreal if we consider the way Pakistan has played in last few assignments. Though this is how they have been- either best or worst, there is no in between.
Meanwhile, with all-important World Cup scheduled to undergo in England from May 27, Pakistan could well finish bagging the mega trophy for the second time. HERE ARE THE THREE REASONS that justify that.
3. Supportive English Conditions
It’s a well-known fact that English conditions favor seam bowling and there is no denying that Pakistan has one of the best bowling attacks in the world. The side has always banked on its fast-bowling strength especially on the tracks that have something for the seamers.
Having the likes of Mohammed Amir, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Afridi etc in the side, Pakistan could surely challenge even the best batting sides in the World Cup, hence giving them an upper hand in the World Cup.
2. Series against England ahead of World Cup
As a major preparation period, Pakistan will get to play a series against England, hence giving them an opportunity to study the conditions well ahead of the World Cup.
Moreover, as England is the most favourite team to lift the title, playing a series against them can surely make the task easy for Men in Green.
1. Won 4 out of last 5 matches in England
Pakistan has just lost one match out of the last five One-day Internationals played at England. The side surprised one and all in 2017 after triumphing the Champions Trophy in England.
They would surely be carrying that positive mindset before hitting the floors of World Cup in May.
