With so much hype around the much-awaited clash between India and Pakistan on October 24, the former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq on Friday picked India as his favourite side to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 title.

His statement comes just 2 days before the two arch-rivals India and Pakistan are scheduled to face each other at their opening encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium .

The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is in progress in Oman and United Arab Emirates (UAE) and fans are eagerly waiting to see the arch-rivals Sunday clash.

India eased to a comfortable win over Australia, two days after victory over England, to end the warm-up matches on the best possible note. First, India defeated England by 7 wickets then registered a comfortable 8-wicket win against Australia.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Inzamam said India have a greater chance of winning the trophy as the Dubai conditions are similar to the subcontinent, which makes India the most dangerous side in the T20 World Cup. If we see the 155 runs they chased down, they did not even need Virat Kohli to do so, he said.

Inzamam also said India have many experienced T20 players and it’s not just their batting, their bowling unit is also very experienced. He predicted that the team’s spin department would be a major factor in the T20 World Cup.

Former Pakistan skipper’s remark came a day after former England skipper Michael Vaughan had said that he didn’t understand the reason behind Team India being seen as a favourite to win the tournament this time around.

Though, Inzamam, who has been a part of many India-Pakistan World Cup matches in the past, did not pick any favourite and termed the India-Pakistan Sunday clash as the final before the final. The winning team will go into the remaining matches high on morale, he said.

India are originally the hosts of the T20 World Cup 2021 but the tournament is being played in UAE and Oman due to the pandemic situation in India.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
