New Delhi, Apr.13 (ANI): International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat is expecting a India-Pakistan final in the upcoming T20 World Championship in West Indies, and believes that the Team in Blue would try its best to repeat the success of 2007, when it won the coveted title in London.
Speaking during the ICC 2010 World T20 Championship trophy unveiling ceremony here, Lorgat said he expects India to give its all to pocket the championship for the second time.
"India will not have enjoyed having to relinquish possession of the trophy and I have no doubt they will be doing everything in their power to win it back from Pakistan this time around," Lorgat said.
India will launch its campaign against the new members of international cricket, Afghanistan, in St. Lucia on 1 May, and Lorgat said that he is sure that Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team would not be taking the match lightly.
"Through qualification for this event, the Afghanistan players have shown themselves to be worthy of a place among the big boys and I'm sure Team India will not be taking them lightly. It should be a fascinating match," he said.
Lorgat urged cricket fans across the world to make the T20 championship starting April 30 a huge success and a 'celebration of cricket in the Caribbean'.
"The event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the proud and illustrious history of cricket in the Caribbean while also embracing the new, vibrant and talented next generation of cricketer. The West Indies is one of the great cricket territories and is a significant part of our shared cricket identity," Lorgat said. (ANI)
