“Pakistan Will Beat India If We Meet in Semi-Finals” — Rashid Latif’s Bold Prediction

As the T20 World Cup enters its high-octane Super 8 stage, cricket analysts have already turned their attention to potential semi-final match-ups — and former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has made a bold claim that’s set the cricket world buzzing.
Latif said with full conviction that should Pakistan and India face off in the semi-finals, the result this time will go in Pakistan’s favour. He argued that the current Pakistani squad is well-balanced and carries the firepower and composure to win marquee matches. “Past results are one thing,” he said, “but this team is different and capable of beating anyone.”
His comments, however, were met with a sharp and witty response from renowned sports analyst Nauman Niaz, who quipped, “Will India play blindfolded then? Have some fear of God, Rashid bhai!” Niaz cautioned against underestimating India, describing them as a formidable and experienced unit that cannot be dismissed so easily.
Latif, unfazed by the pushback, stood firm on his prediction, insisting that a Pakistan vs India semi-final would end in Pakistan’s favour.
It is worth noting that the actual semi-final line-up will only become clear after the Super 8 results. However, the lively exchange between the two analysts has already made a potential Pakistan-India semi-final the hottest topic of conversation among cricket fans across the region.
