After India's massive victory over Scotland in the T20 World Cup, former Pakistani sprinter Shoaib Akhtar has said he wants India to reach the final.Explaining the reason for his wish, the speedster said he wanted Pakistan to beat India again in the tournament. Speaking of the match between New Zealand and Afghanistan which will decide whether or not India will advance to the semi-finals, Shoaib Akhtar said if Kane Williamson's side lose there will be a lot of questions.
Despite a massive victory over Scotland in just 6.3 on Friday night, India's hopes of qualifying for the ICC T20 World Cup semi-finals lie in Afghanistan beating New Zealander Kane Williamsonled in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. After two big defeats in the Group 2 stage 'In the Super 12', India dropped to fifth place with an abysmal Net Run Rate (NRR). But the outright victories over Afghanistan and Scotland greatly improved the NRR. If Afghanistan beats New Zealand, India will have to keep the NRR against Namibia in mind.
