World Cup 2019: Current Pakistan team will lose 9 times out of 10 against India, says Harbhajan

When Pakistan had great teams in the past, even they couldn't beat India in the World Cups. How will this team beat India now, asks the veteran Indian spinner

The Pakistan team has ‘no chance’ of beating India in the much-anticipated World Cup clash on June 16 as the current team under Sarfaraz Ahmed lacks experience, feels veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. “Pakistan's form isn't that great and they don't have much experience as well. Pakistani teams in the past were difficult to beat but their current team will lose 9 times out of 10 against India,” Harbhajan said. “There is no chance. When Pakistan had great teams in the past, even they couldn't beat India in the World Cups. How will this team beat India now?” added Harbhajan. The 38-year-old believes India will be under more pressure to perform against Pakistan in this World Cup. “The pressure will be more on India. When two fighters spar, the stronger one always has a fear of failure. The pressure of losing against Pakistan will be immense. Because I know what happens in India when we lose to Pakistan,” he said. “People don't remember what happened in other matches but when we play against Pakistan they remember everything. And Pakistan have got nothing to lose, if they win against India that will be a bonus. But if India lose that game then it will be very bad for us,” he added. The arch-rivals are scheduled to face each other in the marquee event on June 16 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. While Pakistan had a disappointing start against the West Indies, India will begin their World Cup campaign against South Africa on Wednesday.
