Former Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Kamran Akmal suggested Pakistan that to win against India Babar Azam-led side will have to be better than Rohit Sharma & Co. in their T20 World Cup 2024 upcoming clash. India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 clash is scheduled to be played on June 9 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Former Pakistan cricketer also reckoned that the confidence of the Pakistan cricket team is currently low after losing their opener clash against co-hosts the United States.
“In order to win against India you need to be better than them, you have to make a better team than them and play better. But as of now the confidence of the Pakistan team is low,” Akmal said on his YouTube channel.
