Former Pakistan captain and legendary paceman Wasim Akram has said that the India-Pakistan Twenty20 clash on March 21 will be an ideal 'kick-off' to the World T20, starting in Bangladesh next week.

The fifth edition of the World T20 with 16 teams in competition will be held in from March 16 to April 6.

According to Sport24, Akram, who will be commentating on the event, said that whenever India and Pakistan play, millions watch the game and there are no favourites in that match.

However, the former pace bowler backed Pakistan to enter the event with a positive frame of mind.
