Top 4 reasons Why Pakistani team is favourite for ICC world Twenty (T20)

A lot of cricket gurus consider pakistan as the favourites for the ICC world Twenty20 & I second them all. Here are the 4 reasons why exactly is it:

1-

Pakistan has won more T20 games than any other team in this world with winning ratio of about 79%. This is because they understand this shorter version well than other people. On the other hand, consistency has never been Pakistan's cup of tea, which is not at all required in this format of the game.

2-

Pakistan has some super match winners designed for this format which could single handedly lead them to victory both with the bat & the ball. These include Shoaib malik, Misbah-ul-haq, Umer gul & Shahid Khan Afridi.

With these top cards they can win the match from any situation & could do any miracle required both with the ball & the ball.

3-

This is something which i call the blessing in disguise. Having been denied access to the wonderful IPL, the pakistani guys had trainings camps & a rigorous domestic T20 championship which means more prepared yet fresh legs for pakistan in the worldcup.

4-

You know, pakistani guys are really difficult to beat when they are motivated about something. With no International cricket in Pakistan and stripping them off for the world cup 2011 could really motivate them to bring the trophy back to the country.

The media talkings by the pakistani team players reflect this thought.


Having said all this I'm not giving any guarantee that with all these things, pakistan is bound to play good in the cup! U know...they could be zero out of heroes' outfit but they certainly are the favourites for the top slot!
