5 reasons why Pakistan can win ICC World T20 2016
Pakistan team can win the World T20 if they play to their potentialWhen all the odds are stacked up against a particular entity, more often the not they come out punching back. Pakistan cricket currently is facing one such situation when nothing seems to be falling into place, and all experiments or the lack of it seems to be backfiring big time.Few are giving the team even an iota of a chance to even qualify for the semi-finals of the ICC WorldT20. Leave aside them clinching the trophy. But if Pakistan cricket is observed more closely and their history is tracked, one common denomination will surface- they can suddenly turn everything around and embark on a golden run to eventually lift the trophy. The 1992 World Cup is a shining example, where a cornered Pakistan side led by the inspirational Imran Khan defied all odds to emerge as World Champions.Hence, even if they are struggling there is no reason why they cannot turn the corner and play to the potential we know they are capable of.
#1 The Mercurial nature of Pakistan
Pakistan historically have always surpassed odds and have overcome great adversity and have surged at a time when even the most ardent supporters have given up all hope. The 1992 World Cup and the 2009 World T20 shine as prominent examples and are a beacon for triumphing over greater adversity than a general inability to inspire confidence in their supporters.
Moreover, when there are not many expectations attached there is a ‘nothing to lose’ approach that more often than not translates into inspired performances. Very often the weight of expectations can suppress teams, and Pakistan currently has no such expectations. Expect them to come out firing and if they are off to a positive start watch out for the underdogs.
