Another Prediction Backfires: Amir Reacts Angerly as India Win T20 World Cup Mohammad Amir, a former Pakistan fast bowler, expressed frustration and anger after India secured their third T20 World Cup title by defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final. Amir had predicted that New Zealand would win the match, but his forecast proved incorrect, leading to a sharp reaction from the former pacer. During a post-match interview, Amir criticized the New Zealand team for their strategic decisions and questioned the bowlers’ approach, which he believed contributed to India’s victory. Amir’s frustration was evident as he was asked about his failed prediction. He initially responded with indifference, stating that India would take the trophy home but not bring it to his house. However, his tone shifted when he was pressed on the loss, revealing his disappointment. Earlier in the tournament, Amir had correctly predicted that India would lose to South Africa in the Super 8 stage, but he continued to claim that India would not reach the final. This led to backlash from fans and former Indian cricketers like Navjot Singh Sidhu and Mohammed Kaif, who publicly criticized his repeated wrong forecasts. During a discussion on the show Harna Maana Hai, Amir focused on New Zealand’s bowling strategy, particularly the handling of Abhishek Sharma. He argued that the Blackcaps’ bowlers failed to adapt to Sharma’s strengths, allowing him to score freely. Amir noted that Mitchell Santner’s decision to avoid off-spin against Sharma was puzzling, as it gave the Indian batsman a head start. He also criticized the inconsistency in New Zealand’s bowling plan, pointing out that the team’s strategy shifted abruptly during the final.#india #new_zealand #amir #navjot_singh_sidhu #mohammed_kaif
