New Delhi: Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar had predicted the way Australia captain Aaron Finch would get out ahead of the second semi-final between Pakistan and Australia in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. Popularly known as the ‘Lord of Cricket’ among cricket fans. , Sachin’s prediction was spot on.
Ahead of the Pakistan vs Australia T20 World Cup match, Sachin has posted a video on Instagram in which he said that he would like to see the match between Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and Australian captain Aaron Finch. Legend predicted that if Aaron Finch tries to play Afridi across the line at the start of the innings, he will either be out lbw or clean bowled.
Sachin’s prediction turned out to be correct as when the Australian team came out to bat, Afridi dismissed Finch lbw off the second ball of Australia’s innings as the Australian captain had to return to the pavilion for a duck. Finch tried to play Afridi’s delivery across the line and the ball went straight to his pad.
