Yuvraj Singh: In the conditions in Dubai Pakistan would have an advantage.
Sidhu: India is a much better, balanced side.
Haq: Both teams are equal. It also depends on the speech of the body of the teams on the day.
Attitude and body language will decide the winner – Shahid Afida
Remembering the 2011 World Cup semi -finals against India, Shahid Afida admitted that Pakistan initially felt confident in victory. However, the energy and intensity of India on the ground allowed him to make sense that chasing the goal may not be possible.
Afidi: The attitude and body language will tell you which team will win. Honestly, we (thought we were) won the 2011 World Cup. But after our first Wickket fell and the way that Indian body language changed on the field, I had a feeling of sitting outside that we might not be able to get driving. So, everything relates to body language and how you overcome another team.
The ICC Trophy 2025 champions will start on February 19 in Karachi, and defending Pakistan champions in New Zealand in the introductory match. Pakistan will host 10 games, while four games will be held in Dubai, including all Indian group devices and first semi -finals, will be held in Dubai.
