00:00 I have a special guest with me today. Mr. Shahid, you should have been there. But what happened?
00:09 Babar was saying that it would have been better if our fans had come. So, what happened? First, Mr. Shahid, tell us.
00:17 The visa has been delayed. This happens on both sides. Indian journalists are also complaining that when we come to India, when we want to go to Pakistan, we get the visa on the last day.
00:28 So, we are waiting. This first match is probably over. But it is being said in the Indian media and the Indian media is also saying that once the match is over,
00:38 some fans and all the journalists will be issued visas in different batches.
00:45 Inshallah, it's okay if one or two matches are over. But the colors of the World Cup, it is very important for Pakistan's involvement.
00:53 Pakistani journalists are also very passionate. They participate in the World Cup with great joy.
01:00 So, it will be very important for them to be green in color, Inshallah.
01:05 Inshallah, let's hope so. But you said that the mega event is starting from today. So, what are the expectations?
01:10 Your favorite team is of course, our country is in our hearts. Our team is there. Pakistan is there. But what are you seeing overall? Which team is strong?
01:20 See, sir, in cricket, many teams are said to be favorites. But never does the favorite team come so high and win.
01:29 Unexpectedly, a team comes up and defeats another team. And this format is very good.
01:35 That is, there are 9 teams, each team will play 9 matches. That is, you have to play one match from each team.
01:41 And often it happens that a small team, for example, Bangladesh or Afghanistan or Netherlands, defeats a team.
01:48 So, the other teams get a chance. One team wins continuously and reaches the semi-finals.
01:53 But some teams fight and reach the semi-finals with a slow start.
02:00 And this happens only with Pakistan. We saw last year in the T20 World Cup that the Netherlands defeated South Africa.
02:07 Because of which we benefited and reached the semi-finals and then reached the final.
02:11 So, the favorite teams that are visible are India and England. They have every base cover.
02:17 They have good spinners, fast bowlers, openers, batting, and fielders.
02:24 But often it happens that the favorite team has a bad day.
02:29 In that bad day, they get stuck. India was stuck ahead of England and they lost the semi-final.
02:34 So, this will happen. And our team will catch up a little after a slow start.
02:39 And then, God willing, we will reach the semi-finals.
02:42 And today's match is between England and New Zealand.
02:49 How do you feel about the performance of New Zealand and England?
02:55 It's going to be a very tough match.
02:58 It's the opening match of the World Cup.
03:00 It's a winner of the last World Cup and runner-up of the last two World Cups.
03:05 New Zealand has played two finals in 2015 and 2019. They have been very lucky.
03:12 They are always underachievers. Their team is so good.
03:16 And this time too, their team is very good.
03:18 They have a leg break bowler, off-break bowler, left arm spinner, left arm fast bowler, right arm fast bowler.
03:26 They have all kinds of bases.
03:28 They have hard-hitting all-rounders, good openers, good captains.
03:33 Their captain, Kane Williamson, will not play in the first match.
03:36 He is the only captain of the tournament.
03:39 He was the captain in the last tournament as well.
03:41 The captains of all the other nine teams are new.
03:44 So, the New Zealand team is also very strong. It's going to be a tough match.
03:47 And our next match is on 6th from the Netherlands.
03:51 The Netherlands is a very weak team, but we are also very unpredictable.
03:55 We don't know when our bowling will respond.
03:58 We don't even rely on batting that much.
04:00 But what do you think about the Netherlands?
04:03 Yesterday, Babar Azam said that this is the first match of the tournament.
04:07 We need a winning start and we will definitely get a winning start.
04:11 So, the first two matches are between the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
04:15 Both of them should win.
04:17 Both of them are qualified teams.
04:19 The Dutch team is a little dangerous.
04:21 Because they have all-rounders with big pits and pits.
04:25 All-rounders with big pits and pieces.
04:27 They can do anything.
04:30 One of their all-rounders is waiting for the three World Cups.
04:33 In 2015, they tried to play from New Zealand.
04:36 Logan Van Beek.
04:38 He made 30 runs in one Super Over against West Indies.
04:43 He put a boundary on every ball.
04:45 4, 6, 4, 6, like this.
04:47 And then he made an over.
04:48 He took two wickets and took West Indies out of the tournament.
04:51 So, their dangerous players, Bas, the leader, is one of their all-rounders.
04:55 He is also a very good player.
04:56 So, Pakistan should be prepared and be careful.
04:58 And they should select a good team.
05:01 Whether Hyderabad is spinning or not.
05:05 The Netherlands are spinners.
05:08 You should play with more spinners.
05:10 And you should win this match peacefully and get a good net run rate.
05:14 Shahid, our bowling attacks, obviously, are not part of the Naseem Shah squad yet.
05:19 But Shaheen, Naseem, this combination was made.
05:22 But now it is not.
05:24 But now, how can we best utilize the situation of the available players?
05:29 Like I said, we will have to select 11 good players.
05:33 Two fast bowlers, according to me, Shaheen Shah, Pidi and Haris Rau.
05:37 And both the spinners, the left-brake spinners,
05:40 Usama Mir and Shahda Afghan, should be played.
05:43 Nawaz should be played.
05:45 And the part-timers, spinners, Iftikhar and Agha Salman, should be bowled.
05:51 Because, if you see, from 2019 to 2023,
05:55 in 4 years, the Netherlands have made the lowest number of runs on spinners in the world.
06:00 That is, 38.
06:01 They have made 38 runs on every 100 balls.
06:04 So, we should catch their weakness.
06:06 If we catch their weakness, we will win.
06:08 Our bowling is good.
06:09 Our spinners are also good.
06:10 It's okay that they are not taking a wicket.
06:12 But once the rhythm comes, they will take a wicket in rhythm.
06:15 And my man of the match is, God willing, Shahda Afghan.
06:18 God willing.
06:19 Let's hope so.
06:20 I have high hopes.
06:21 And I hope that all the visa issues get resolved during this time.
06:24 Thank you so much, Shahda Afghan.
