Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan said T20 cricket being in its infancy it is hard to predict who will win the ICC World Twenty20 in England as no team appears to have a clear planning or strategy on how to approach this format of the game.
"At present the way I see it all the teams are just going with the flow and Twenty20 cricket is only about luck and taking chances. There is no science or planning in how the teams play this format of the game," Khan told reporters during a visit to Karachi.
"One can't make predictions in the present state of things because any team can win on its day. Everyone is just taking chances and if it pays off it looks good."
He said when one-day cricket started in the early 70s it took time for the teams to understand the game and plan strategies. Just like that, Twenty20 cricket would also evolve with time and teams will start understanding the format better and play it accordingly, Khan said.
"I am sure this will happen with Twenty20 cricket as well but right now it is just 'Tullebaazi' (chance cricket)," he added.
Khan was happy that Twenty20 cricket has been a big hit with the public. "It is good for the sport that so many people are now coming in to watch these matches."
