Mohammad Amir does it again; predicts India's future in T20 World Cup: ‘Pakistan qualify kare na kar, par…’

Amir's prediction came one step closer to fulfilment after India lost against South Africa by 76 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The left-arm pacer wasn't able to hold his laughter after the Pakistani anchor dubbed him an “astrologer.” However, India stormed right back into the mix after winning the contest against Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Speaking of Pakistan, the side captained by Salman Ali Agha were given a major lifeline on Friday after England beat New Zealand by four wickets in Colombo. Now, Pakistan need to win against Sri Lanka by either 65 runs or chase the total down in less than 14 overs to leapfrog the Kiwis' net run rate and qualify for the semi-finals.

“Pakistan will qualify. Dekho, Pakistan kare na kare, India naaaa (It doesn't matter if Pakistan qualifies or not, India will not),” Amir said on ‘Haarna Mana Hai’. This remark even left the anchor puzzled.

Ever since the start of the T20 World Cup, Amir has made several bold statements, much to the ire of Indian fans. Earlier, he labelled Abhishek Sharma as just a “slogger” who doesn't have a second gear in his batting, where he can defend the ball.

On the other hand, South Africa will face either New Zealand or Pakistan in either Kolkata or Colombo. The Proteas are the only undefeated team in the tournament so far, having lost none of their matches.
