IND vs Pak: Pakistan can beat India but need to give them sleeping pills; Shoaib Akhtar

Shoaib Akhtar has offered hilarious advice to Pakistan about defeating India in Sunday’s bumper T20 World Cup match in Dubai. Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda, the former Pakistani pacer jokingly remarked that Babar Azam and co. should give sleeping pills to Indian players before the match.

He also asked them to stop Virat Kohli from using his Instagram and even requested team mentor MS Dhoni not to come and bat himself.

Shoaib Akhtar then spoke on a serious note, offering his actual advice. He asked the Pakistan openers to provide a good start, avoid dot balls and pace their innings. He also asked the bowling attack to be aggressive while defending a good total. Akhtar added:

India have won seven of their eight T20Is against Pakistan, with five of those coming at the World Cup. The Men in Green are yet to win a World Cup game, be it T20Is or ODIs, against their arch-rivals.
