Pakistan vs India T20 World Cup: Butt said the experience of Indian bowlers could make a difference

Former Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt is opening up about the bowling attacks of Pakistan and India ahead of their T20 World Cup clash on October 24.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, the former athlete said the experience of Indian bowlers could make a difference as compared to their Pakistani counterparts.

“Experience is the major difference in India and Pakistan's bowling attacks. (Jasprit) Bumrah is highly experienced. Our No. 1 bowler Shaheen Afridi is comparatively very less experienced,” he shared.

“Yes, he is a high-quality bowler and can get wickets with the new ball. His pace is very good and he can swing the new ball as well. There are a lot of good things in his possession. He can become a world-class bowler in the days to come,” he went on to say.

Moreover, he went on to say that India have an edge over Pakistan.

“If you look at our second pacer, it could be Hasan Ali. He is reasonably experienced. But if we look at India, they have (Mohammed) Shami. Again, he is vastly experienced in comparison,” he said.

“So the more you move ahead with the comparisons, it is more the same. Among spinners, they have (Ravichandran) Ashwin and (Ravindra) Jadeja. We have Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan. So there is a vast difference in the bowling attacks when it comes to experience,” he added.

The two arch-rivals will be head-to-head in Dubai on October 24.
