Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, had high hopes for the Pakistani national cricket team’s triumph in the Twenty20 World Cup, which is now taking place in Australia.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of Piers Morgan’s “TalkTV,” Imran Khan stated, I’m positive that Pakistan has a team capable of winning the World Cup InshAllah.
Imran Khan, who was ecstatic by the Men in Green’s exciting triumph, compared it to the 1992 World Cup, adding, We beat New Zealand in the semifinal and then played England in the final.
The victory has given the Green Shirts much-needed hope, and they are now looking forward to the final, Khan said with a smile. The entire country is rejoicing in our achievement, he remarked.
I believe our team performs well. I believe we have a good chance of winning the championship.
In the semifinals, the group led by Babar Azam won by seven wickets. The Men in Green easily surpassed the 153-run target set by the Black Caps for Pakistan.
Mohammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper-batsman, and captain Babar Azam put up 105 runs together. When New Zealand dismissed Babar for 53 in the 12th over, the partnership was broken. At that time, Pakistan needed to score 47 runs off 43 balls.
The Men in Green, on the other hand, had made great progress by that point. Rizwan and Mohammad Haris kept the scoreboard ticking over till the wicketkeeper was caught at run out at 57.
