Nathan Lyon Predicts Australia-Pakistan Final in T20 World Cup 2024

Nathan Lyon, the veteran Australian spinner, has made his predictions for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, and he believes that Australia and Pakistan will face off in the final. In a recent video, Lyon was asked to name the two teams he expects to reach the summit clash, and he毫不犹豫地选择了澳大利亚。

Lyon admitted that he was biased towards Australia, but he also believes that Pakistan has a strong chance of making it to the final. He cited the quality of Pakistan's spinners and the presence of star batter Babar Azam as reasons for his prediction.

"For the T20 finals team, Australia obviously because I'm quite biased towards them. I think it will be I'm going to go with Pakistan. In those conditions, quality spin bowlers, but also electric batters like Babar Azam," Lyon said in a video shared by Prime Video Sports Australia.

Lyon also predicted that this year's tournament could see a team posting the highest total in T20I history. He also backed Australia's T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh to have a brilliant tournament.

"I think early on in the tournament we may see the highest score in T20. I'm going to go, Mitchell Marsh, I think the power that he has with the bat but also the skill he has with the ball in hand as well. So, go well Mitch," he added.

Lyon's predictions are in line with those of several other experts. Ambati Rayudu, Brian Lara, Paul Collingwood, Sunil Gavaskar, Chris Morris, Matthew Hayden, Aaron Finch, Mohammad Kaif, Tom Moody, and S Sreesanth have all picked India as one of the semi-finalists.
