Afghanistan has been counted as weak teams. But in the last few years, Afghanistan has shown that they are no less than anyone. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, Afghanistan defeated England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and made a big upset. Now no team takes Afghanistan lightly. Afghanistan was very close to defeating Australia in the 2023 World Cup and had completely tightened the match but Glenn Maxwell's historic innings took away the victory from him.
Apart from this, Akhtar has also claimed that Pakistan will defeat India in the group stage match of Champions Trophy. Mahamukabala will be played between India and Pakistan in Dubai on 23 February. But Shoaib Akhtar believes that Team India will reach the finals. Shoaib wants to see the competition between India and Pakistan in the final.
Team India will face Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai before hitting Pakistan on 23 February. On March 2, the Bharatit team will face New Zealand in their last group stage match.
