Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop feels that there are no clear favourites to win the ongoing Men’s ICC T20 World Cup. Bishop named England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies as the dangerous sides and one of them might lift the title.
“England have got guys who are aggressive with the bat. India have stars throughout their line-up. New Zealand are beginning to hit more boundaries and have a dangerous bowling attack. Pakistan are dangerous with the ball.
“But the West Indies have so much experience now, so I have my fingers crossed that they can go well,” Bishop said.
Out of these five, only India has managed to win both of their warm-up matches. The Virat Kohli-led Team India defeated England by seven-wickets and then registered a thumping eight-wicket win over Australia.
The two-times champion, West Indies have lost both of their warm-up matches, while Pakistan was shocked by South Africa in their second warm-up game.
India will start their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 24 in Dubai.
Sri Lanka registered a massive 70-run win over Ireland in a Group A match to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
