Pakistan are dangerous opponents for the best of teams in major tournaments but they could face a rocky road in their quest for a first Twenty20 World Cup title since their sole triumph in 2009 after a radical overhaul in recent months.
LONDON : No team have successfully defended the Twenty20 World Cup title and England do not have to go far back in the record books to understand the magnitude of the task facing them in the tournament in West Indies and the United States.
England spinner Sophie Ecclestone became the fastest woman to reach 100 wickets in One Day International (ODI) cricket after claiming three in their 178-run win over Pakistan on Wednesday.

Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Shahid Afridi revealed that he had a conversation with Suresh Raina over his social media post that resulted in the former Indian cricket team player deleting it. Following the announcement of Afridi becoming an ambassador for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, an X (formerly Twitter) user took a dig at Raina - “ICC has named Shahid Afridi as ambassador for ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Hello Suresh Raina.” Raina was quick to respond as he wrote - “I'm not an ICC ambassador, but I have the 2011 World Cup at my house. Remember the game at Mohali? Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you." Afridi spoke about the post on his YouTube channel and said that they had a conversation about it and everything is fine between them. "Suresh Raina and I have shared many cricketing moments, and he's a good person," Afridi said.
Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan's form has been a point of concern for the team heading into the T20 World Cup in the Americas. In his last two T20I outings, Shadab has leaked 109 runs at an economy rate of over 12, while also remaining wicketless. Before their opening game of the tournament against USA on June 6, Pakistan only have one official game left to play as the first and third T20Is of their four-match series against England were washed out.
WASHINGTON : New York will boost security for the upcoming T20 Cricket World Cup in June, the governor said on Wednesday, after reports of threats especially related to the India-Pakistan match.
