‘Won’t Be Making Any Prediction This Time’, Harbhajan Singh On India-Pak T20 World Cup Match.

Many former cricketers and experts have already started making predictions about the upcoming high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup on October 23.

However, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh refrained from making a prediction citing his statement and Indian team’s performance against Pakistan in the most recent T20 World Cup event.

“I told Shoaib Akhtar that there’s no sense in Pakistan participating; you should give us a walkover. You’ll play, you’ll lose again, and you’ll be upset. Our squad is extremely solid, very powerful, and they will easily beat you guys,” Bhajji had said last year according to CricTracker.

This time around though he is being a lot more considerate, “We have another T20 World Cup, and this year, I won’t be giving any statement and won’t talk over who will win [between Pakistan and India]. Mauka Mauka or whatever, we will see what is going to happen as last time around, things went bad due to this,” Harbhajan said, as per CricTracker.

Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was speaking with the Punjab-born former cricketer. Harbhajan should not make any predictions about the match, according to Akhtar.

Ahead of last year’s India-Pakistan meeting, Harbhajan Singh had said that it was meaningless for the Babar Azam-led side to play against the Indian team. He had also opined that Pakistan should give India a “walkover.”

But the story on the pitch that day was entirely different.

In the match, batting first, Virat Kohli-led side managed to reach a respectable total of 151 runs losing seven wickets in 20 overs. Pakistan Pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi produced a stellar show as he had picked up three wickets. Later, he was announced Man of the Match as well.

Pakistan during their run chase did not lose a single wicket and reached the target with 13 balls remaining to script a remarkable 10-wicket triumph which also ended their losing streak in World Cup matches against India.
