Moeen Ali on T20 World Cup: India, England not the only top teams, unfair to write off Pakistan, New Zealand

England cricketer Moeen Ali believes that it is unfair to write off teams such as Pakistan, New Zealand and Australia as the top contenders of the T20 World Cup this year in India. 

England recently lost 3-2 to India in the five-match T20I series held last month. The two teams fought hard to set up a series decider which the hosts won. While India and England maybe the best white-ball teams at the moment, according to veteran all-rounder Moeen Ali, no team can be written off as contenders to win the T20 World Cup that is scheduled to be held later this year in India. “It would be wrong to assume that the Twenty20 World Cup will be a battle between India and England. You can’t write off teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and Australia. The Twenty20 format is such that anyone can beat any opponent and teams like Bangladesh are also dangerous. We are a strong team but it’s important that we nail our skills, and the results will then take care of themselves. If we play to the standard that we can, we feel we can beat anybody.” said Moeen Ali during an interview with PakPassion.net.
