‘It should be a Cracker’
Yuvraj noted that both teams are brimming with confidence. He lauded the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, for his remarkable innings of 131 against Afghanistan on Wednesday.
“India is already confident because they have beaten Australia and Afghanistan. It was a brilliant hundred from Rohit Sharma. I think at the moment both teams are high on confidence and it should be a cracker of a game. Mohammad Rizwan is in great form. Both teams have outstanding games. Especially for Pakistan, they chased 300-plus runs against Sri Lanka so it will give them a lot of confidence,” the Chandigarh-born cricketer added.
