If everything had gone well we would have seen arch-rivals India and Pakistan facing each other in the 2022 T20 World Cup. But England spoiled this and defeated us in the semis and lifted the trophy by crushing Pakistan in the team.
Cricket experts weigh in on the possibility of India vs Pakistan clash in the WTC finals if everything goes well. India is at the top position in the table and it has all the chances to make it to another finals. India reached the finals twice earlier.
However, India could not lift the trophy earlier and this time it is adamant of winning the trophy and adding another trophy to its name. India is at the top position followed by defending champions Australia.
Talking about Pakistan it is in the eighth position. Pakistan’s place in the WTC cycle was dented big time as it lost the first test match at home to Bangladesh. If Pakistan wants to reach the finals then it needs to carry out a near impossible task and it has to go all guns blazing.
For the 2023-25 cycle, Pakistan is scheduled to play eight tests and it has to win all the tests with a good margin to improve its points and winning percentage.
Pakistan will face West Indies, South Africa, and England in the next series, and defeating them would be a very tough task. The teams have the best bowling lineup and a strong batting lineup. So defeating the teams is not going to be an easy task.
However Pakistan team is known for giving unexpected performances and it can pull off such wins. Not only that Pakistan’s chances are dependent on other teams too. If other teams lose matches impacting the table positions then there is a slight chance.
If this happens then it would be a blockbuster match to see the arch-rivals playing the ICC finals. Both teams played the ICC finals back in 2017 for the Champions Trophy with Pakistan lifting the trophy. Let's wait and see what happens.
