Renowned cricket commentator David Lloyd has revealed that Pakistan are capable of winning the World Cup since they have done well in major tournaments in the past.
Pakistan have struggled in ODIs this year as they were beaten 3-2 by South Africa and whitewashed 5-0 by Australia in the United Arab Emirates.
In their most recent ODI series against England, they lost 4-0.
Despite this, Lloyd believes it would be a mistake to “Write Pakistan off”, especially as the men in green defied expectations and triumphed at the Champions Trophy in England in 2017.
“Don’t write Pakistan off, they always have something up their sleeve when it comes to major tournaments just as we saw in the 2017 Champions Trophy,” Lloyd told PakPassion. “You can’t get away from the fact that the ODI series for both Pakistan and England was preparation for the World Cup and to give a chance to all of the players.”
Pakistan will play two World Cup warm-up games against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in Bristol and Cardiff on May 24 and 26 respectively.
They will then begin their World Cup campaign against the West Indies in Nottingham on May 31.
