Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal has no hesitation in terming Team India favourites to lift the T20 World Cup. India will play their opening encounter against Pakistan on Sunday in a high-voltage clash at the Dubai International Stadium.

Speaking to mid-day from his Kent home in the UK, Asif is confident of a strong Indian performance and reminded Pakistan that they should make the most of their “second home” with the tournament being played in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
