Former Pakistan pacer Sarfraz Nawaz has admitted that India are favourites for the blockbuster T20 World Cup clash against the arch-rivals in Colombo on Sunday due to better team balance.
“I will be happy if Pakistan wins, but cricket logic wise, India are favourites. Pakistan should concentrate on playing cricket only, nothing else. India have a balanced side. They have everything except the lack of strength in the batting tail. Pakistan’s bowling is better than their batters,” Nawaz, 77, who claimed 177 wickets in 55 Tests and 63 wickets in 45 ODIs, told Sunday mid-day on Saturday.
