After Pakistan’s humiliating loss against India in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, the Green Army’s head coach Mickey Arthur had made a controversial statement by saying that ‘it seems like a BCCI event rather than ICC’.
Following the bizarre remark, Arthur has now sent a ‘World Cup final’ warning to the Indian team.
Despite the thumping defeat against India which left veterans and experts questioning whether Pakistan can even make the semifinals, Arthur is not just confident of the team’s run to the knockouts, he believes that it will be India who they will run into in the final next month at the very same venue.
“This Indian team is a very, very good cricket team. I think they are very well led by Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma. I think they have got all bases covered and I am looking forward to meeting them again in the final,” said Arthur.
“We have played well in patches in this tournament, but I don’t think we have hit our straps yet, and that is the exciting thing for me. The key is remaining calm, staying focused, concentrating on what our next opposition is, getting the strategies right for that, getting the team balance right, and then the next focus is the next game for us,” he added.
