Srinagar: Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif has made a surprising claim that USA will be defeating Pakistan again in T20 World Cup 2026.
Speaking as a guest on a podcast, the ex-cricketer made prediction for the Pakistan that might be a major setback for the fans.
“We lost to the USA, who are playing in the T20 World Cup for the first time. They didn’t even qualify, they played because they were the hosts. The way the situation is going at this moment, the USA will beat Pakistan in the next World Cup in 2026. I’ll guarantee you that,” Asif predicted.
Recently, the 2009 World Champions have been under scrutiny over their poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 as well as in the Test series against Bangladesh.
“Before the 2026 World Cup, we have to change the captain, coach and the players. There needs to be planning for the two years that this is the team; this is the 20 players we want to work with. But we are repeating the same things, which is why I am telling you this,” Asif highlighted.
He further added that teams like India and South Africa are progressing simultaneously, however, we are still in the same spot.
