I wouldn’t get cocky if I was you, especially against WI who have beaten Pakistan against the odds in a few fair contests:
- 2004 CT semi-final
- 2007 WC opening match
- 2015 WC group game
The only reason why I’m bringing up some historical contests is because back then Pakistan were heavy favourites and a much better team. Now if you compare both sides, WI actually have more match winners and it’s fair say they have a better team on paper, led very well by Jason Holder, so why write them off?
There's a difference between being favourites before a match and then actually winning or losing the match. Favourites DO LOSE contests sometimes that doesn't mean they weren't favourites before.
Btw the 2015 contest wasn't even against the odds, pak was just bad.
Bookies hold pak favourites over wi so obviously pak are favourites coz bookies are not biased.
