Shoaib Akhtar has already made this prediction regarding the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has already predicted India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match. He says that it will be difficult for Pakistan to beat India in this tournament to be played in Australia in October-November this year. Shoaib Akhtar's statement came after the India vs England T20 series. In this series, Team India showed an aggressive attitude and won the series 2-1.

According to Pakistan Cricket, Shoaib Akhtar said 'India will come with proper planning this time. This time it will not be easy for Pakistan to beat India in the T20 World Cup. It is quite difficult to predict the outcome of the match now but Pakistan should bowl later as the Melbourne pitch gives bounce to the fast bowlers.

Melbourne ground in Australia is the second-largest ground in terms of viewership after India's Narendra Modi Stadium. The clash between India and Pakistan is to be held on this ground on 23 October. Akhtar believes that record-breaking spectators will come to watch this match.

He said 'I am sure the crowd will be more this time. Around 150,000 fans will watch the match line in Melbourne. Out of which 70,000 will be Indian supporters.

Let me tell you, the last time these two teams met in the T20 World Cup, Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets. This year these two countries will meet not once but twice. The Asia Cup is to be played in August before the T20 World Cup, in which both these teams will participate.
