Pakistanis are not desisting from their antics in T20 World Cup 2026. First the Pakistan Cricket Board created a ruckus before the start of the tournament, then their team had to face defeat from India and then the Pakistan team was out of the Super-8. Despite this, some former cricketers of Pakistan are not thinking about the future of their team, but they definitely have to make predictions about Team India. In this series, before the semi-final against England today, former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Aamir has once again predicted India’s defeat. The interesting thing is that even before this his prediction about India has been proved wrong, but despite this, this time he has described England as superior to India and has presented a new example of arrogance. The semi-final match between India and England is to be played at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Aamir believes that this match can be high-scoring and if England bats in the second innings then their chances of winning will be higher. Aamir was also given the tag of ‘Baba’ for his prediction.
‘If England batted in the second innings, there would be more chances of victory’
Giving his opinion during the Pakistani show ‘Harna Mana Hai’, Aamir said that the pitch of Mumbai is very helpful for the batsmen. He said, ‘This match will be on a good wicket. If England bats in the second innings, they will have more chances of winning, because high-scoring matches are usually held in Mumbai. He believes that in this situation, England’s batsmen can prove to be more dangerous while chasing the target. He also said that till now Phil Salt and Jos Buttler have not performed anything special for England in this entire tournament. If his bat works then it will be a bonus for England. Aamir believes that England’s bowlers are also in good form and England’s bowlers also bat well.
Questions raised on Indian batting
Aamir also raised questions about the batting of the Indian team. According to him, only one or two batsmen are able to perform well in the Indian team, while the rest of the players are not contributing as per expectations. He said, ‘If we talk about India, only one or two batsmen are performing. Those players take the team to the end, but the rest of the batsmen do not seem to be in form. Aamir further said, ‘Ishan Kishan played well against us. Abhishek Sharma is not in form. Tilak Verma could not make any impact. Suryakumar Yadav did not do anything special after Super-8. Sanju Samson has definitely performed and Jasprit Bumrah is doing well.
Told England the favorite for the semi-finals
While assessing the performance of the Indian team, Aamir clearly described England as the favorite in this match. He believes that in the current situation the England team looks more balanced and dangerous. Aamir said, ‘You cannot say that this team will completely dominate the match. According to me, England is the favorite in this match. Former Pakistan openers Ahmed Shehzad and Rashid Latif, who were present with Aamir, also agreed with his statement. However, predictions in cricket have often proved wrong. Even before this, Aamir had described West Indies as superior to India in the Super-8 match, but the Indian team had won brilliantly in that match.
The prediction regarding New Zealand proved correct
However, in the South Africa vs New Zealand semi-final, Aamir and Latif predicted a New Zealand victory. Whereas Shahzad D. Africa was said to be his favourite. Aamir had also said that Seifert and Allen would bat in Eden Gardens, Kolkata and the same happened. The. New Zealand achieved the target of 170 runs given by Africa by losing one wicket. Allen played an unbeaten inning of 100 runs in 33 balls, while Seifert scored 58 runs in 33 balls. The New Zealand team has qualified for the final to be held on March 8.
Will Aamir be proved wrong again?
Aamir looked very happy when this prediction came true. Now the question is arising whether this time also Aamir’s prediction regarding India will prove wrong. The Indian team is known for making great comebacks in big matches and its record in matches like semi-finals has also been strong. In such a situation, the debate has intensified among the cricket fans whether this prediction of Aamir will prove to be true or once again the Indian team will respond on the field.
