'India's Bowling Lineup Has Always Been Weak': Ex-Pakistan Player Ahead Of Ind - Pak World Cup Clash
The World Cup will start on October 5 with a clash between England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Ever since the ICC declared the full fixtures of the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023, fans have started building up for the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash. The match is slated to take place at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15. The ICC also informed about the ten venues that will host the tournament spanning 46 days later this year. The high-octane event will start on October 5 with a clash between England and New Zealand. A lot of former cricketers have commented on India Pakistan clash in the World Cup 2023 and the list now includes former Pakistan cricketer Saeed Ajmal who feels that his team will step out on the field as favorites in the contest. While speaking on the Nadir Ali Podcast, Ajmal took a dig at the Indian bowlers, saying that India never had a deadly bowling attack as Pakistan has had.
"India's bowling lineup has always been weak," said Ajmal. "Of late, Siraj has bowled well. Shami has been bowling well. Among spinners, I think Ravindra Jadeja will be crucial in World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah could have been a threat for Pakistan, but he has been unfit for quite some time. I don't think India's bowling will be much of a threat for Pakistan," former Pakistan spinner said.
"India's batting has always been strong. Our bowling is dangerous. It will be a battle of equals. Right now, I would say Pakistan has a 60% chance of winning. (Are Pakistan favorites?) Yes. In Indian conditions, considering the bowlers Pakistan has, if Pakistan keeps them down to a low score, Pakistan will win," he opined.
Talking about the World Cup record, the Pakistan team has never defeated India in the ODI World Cup. Both teams have locked horns a total of 7 times, with India winning all of these seven clashes.
