First, India defeated England by 7 wickets then registered a comfortable 8-wicket win against Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Match Preview India vs Pakistan | @ShoaibAkhtar100mph Joins Zainab | Episode 1 | #Cricketkatadka | SF1N\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iu1DqBILX9Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inzamam also said India have many experienced T20 players and it&#8217;s not just their batting, their bowling unit is also very experienced. He predicted that the team\u2019s spin department would be a major factor in the T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Pakistan skipper\u2019s remark came a day after former England skipper Michael Vaughan had said that he didn\u2019t understand the reason behind Team India being seen as a favourite to win the tournament this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also<\/strong>:<a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/t20-world-cup-winners\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/t20-world-cup-winners\/\"> T20 World Cup: List of winners from 2007 to 2016<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.
