Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg feels that Pakistan could be out of the World Cup soon if they lose their first match against India. Speaking to Deep Dasgupta on his YouTube channel, he said that Pakistan will not be able to turn their campaign around in the event of a possible defeat as they play their next game against New Zealand in two days’ time. “If Pakistan loses to India in the first game, they have got a small change to play New Zealand. I think whether Pakistan goes through it or not will be a huge factor. If Pakistan loses against India in the first game, I don’t think they will be able to cross it, India will be able to recover from it. So look at that place. “

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee feels India’s KL Rahul and Mohammed Shami can emerge as the highest run-scorers and highest wicket-takers in the T20 World Cup Super 12. Rahul has been in terrific form in the IPL, where he was the third-highest run-scorer and his Punjab Kings teammate Shami has bowled some brilliant spells in recent times, including one in the World Cup warm-up game against England.
