ICC World Cup 2019: 5 reasons why Pakistan can win the tournament

#5 Favorable past in England

Pakistan won the 2017 Champions Trophy held in England

Pakistani teams have always performed brilliantly in England. Be it the 1999 World Cup or the 2017 Champions trophy, Pakistan have made their mark in multilateral tournaments held in England in the past. Pakistani pacemen can make the use of the helpful conditions on offer in England and can prove to be a menace for the opposition batsmen.

During the 1999 World Cup, it was the pace attack led by Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar who helped Pakistan reach the final. In CT 2017, it was Hasan Ali who led the wicket-taking charts for Pakistan. Pakistan has a capable pace attack this time as well to go all the way in the 2019 edition of the World Cup.

Pakistan matches have always been well attended in England thanks to a large number of Pakistani diaspora present in England. Such overwhelming support can help the players push their limits in crunch situations.
