Pakistan: My vote is for them – again

Even when the odds are against us, we, Pakistanis, are always optimistic about our cricket team. Our Prime Minister Imran Khan instilled this ‘confidence’ in our otherwise unpredictable team when he lifted the Cricket World Cup trophy in 1992. No one had expected the team led by Imran Khan to win the most prestigious tournament back then.

I am confident that this comparatively younger Pakistani cricket team will make the final and lift the T20 World Cup in the UAE. We will have to overcome the likes of India, New Zealand and Afghanistan in the group to progress before possibly taking on other superpowers such as England, Australia or the holders West Indies. But I am optimistic that this Pakistan team will claim the trophy for the second time.
