“Pakistan is a late-starter”- Mohammad Amir
Mohammad Amir views Australia and Pakistan as his top two picks for the fourth position, although he is aware of Pakistan’s history of sluggish tournament starts. He does stress that Pakistan is now in a better position than England, though. This shows that Amir is more optimistic about Pakistan’s chances of succeeding in the upcoming competition.
It’s interesting to see that he took the playing circumstances into mind because they have a big impact on how games turn out. Amir suggests that Pakistan has an advantage over them and may be able to start the campaign on a high note by recognizing the beneficial conditions for them.
“Pakistan is a late starter, as you may have noticed that whenever a big event comes, we have a slow start. The current conditions are favourable for Pakistan compared to England, and if our bowling performs well because we have batters who can score 300-350 runs, our bowling will play a crucial role, that’s why I’m saying that Pakistan also has chances,” Mohammad Amir concluded.
