Subscribe now!“There is a lot of tension between India and Pakistan, and now he also reached the ground, which was not the case earlier,” Rashid Latif told Timesofindia.com in an exclusive interview.Many things are also going on in the field and Pakistan has canceled their pre-match press conference for the second consecutive time. No one seems to know the exact reason, but there has been no drama shortage in the multi-noble event.“I don’t know what’s going on,” said Latif.

The former Latif Pakistani captain believes that in T20is, everyone can win the day but admits that India is too strong.“In T20, everything can happen. Oman played very well yesterday. It is difficult to choose the favorites in T20is. In the Odi and the tests, you can say who is preferred and who is not. But in T20is, you cannot. But if we look back, India is a strong team,” he added.Latif has credited the solid national configuration of India and the Premier Indian League (IPL) for the domination of the team between the formats.“The (IPL) competition plays the Indian players is of high quality. Pakistan plays in the PSL. There is a gulf of difference between IPL and PSL.“The difference between the two parties is also the experience. This Indian team is also a little inexperienced with senior players like Rohit, Virat and Jadeja retired. And even if they do not have much experience, they have played a high quality cricket,” he said.

Latif qualified Pakistan as a low team because of their fragile striker prescription and this was obvious with their bad departures. The operator Saim Ayub has not yet opened his account in this tournament and has recorded three ducks. Captain Salman Ali Agha scored 0, 3 and 20 in their three outings.Sahibzada Farhan, chosen for its aggressive striker, looked at the whole sea. Pakistan slowly slides Hasan Nawaz in order. Once opener, he struck at No. 4 and now arrives at 5 or 6 years old. Hasan entered the Asian Cup as the most promising striker in Pakistan, but is now reduced to a lower order role.“Pakistan looks like a weak team and everyone can see it. But you cannot raft them too. This is 75-25 for India. India is favorites,” said Latif.“You sometimes see a player who is not in good shape, but for Pakistan, the scenario is different. Saim Ayub is not in good shape, Captain Salman Ali Agha is not in good shape, Mohammad Haris is in difficulty, Sahibzada Farhan does not turn into contact, Hasan Nawaz is in difficulty. If five of the six tops tops are in contact, then it becomes difficult.”Latif feels that the only way Pakistan can beat India is if one of their strikers has an exceptional day; Otherwise, on paper, India has a strength with which to count.“Only individual shine can help Pakistan to win. Kisi does not kar diya toh kar diya (if someone has this kind of day, then that’s good). Without a doubt, India is a very strong team and it will be difficult for Pakistan to record a victory against India,” he concluded.
