In the forthcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Ireland is expected to upset Pakistan, according to former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa.
Prior to this year’s major tournament, the Pakistan Men’s Cricket team has been finding it difficult to get back on track.
In an attempt to get ready for the T20 World Cup in 2024, the Green Shirts participated in three bilateral T20I series, however they were unable to achieve the expected outcomes.
The former champions finished a five-game home series with a 2-2 tie against a young New Zealand team before defeating Ireland 2-1 on the road.
Pakistan’s final World Cup assignment ended in a 2-0 loss in the four-game away series against England.
However, the shocking defeat was Pakistan’s greatest blow.
Recall that Pakistan and Ireland are paired together in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2024, and on June 16 of that year, they will square off in the main event.
Meanwhile, former Indian batter Robin Uthappa boldly predicted that Pakistan’s 20-team tournament side will be upset, citing poor fielding as the reason.
It’s just that Pakistan has always been one of those teams that gets upset by someone during a competition, particularly an ICC tournament. One of such games exists.
You see, their fielding has always been extremely inconsistent. We seen that during the most recent Asia Cup. In my opinion, Pakistan’s fielding has actually been extremely dubious over time in that team.
