Who is most likely to win a game against India and Pakistan?
Hong Kong, UAE, and Kuwait still have a chance to win, but Singapore is out of the running. The United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong are the two favorites out of the three teams because they both have solid NRRs and players. But it would be strange if Kuwait again went against what most people thought.
