British Boxer of Pakistani root Amir Khan has hilariously said that Pakistan’s chances at the World Cup will depend on match-fixing. The star boxer, who is former unified light-welterweight world champion, had a slip of tongue when he was speaking on chances of Pakistan in the ongoing World Cup. Pakistan have started their campaign with a seven-wicket loss at the hands of West Indies.

West Indies thoroughly outplayed the Men in Green to start their World Cup on a stunning note. It took them less than 22 overs to bowl out Pakistan and less than 14 overs to chase down the paltry total of 106. West Indies’ ploy of targeting Pakistan batsmen with short stuff paid rich dividends.  Fast bowler Oshane Thomas took four wickets as Pakistan were bundled out for their second-lowest World Cup total of 105 in just 21.4 overs.

In reply, West Indies cruised to victory in just 13.4 overs, with Chris Gayle top-scoring with 50. He reached his half-century off 33 balls with three sixes and six fours before he was dismissed off the next ball he faced. Highly-rated Nicolas Pooran then smashed Wahab Riaz for a huge six over the square-leg boundary to give his side a stunning start. For Pakistan, the only positive was three wickets for pacer Mohammad Amir who has struggled since his heroics in the final of 2017 Champions Trophy.

And as Pakistan gear up to get their campaign on track, Amir Khan made a hilarious comment on what do they need for the same. The British boxer said that Pakistan’s chances depend on ‘match-fixing and how they fix the games’.
