Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has predicted his second finalist of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, who will face New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium on November 14.

Undefeated Pakistan will lock horns against Australia in the second semi-final later tonight and according to the legendary batsman, the Men in Green have an edge over the Aussies.

Lara praised Australia's batting but also feels that Pakistan has all the expertise to counter them in the knockout game.

"My Prediction - Pakistan," Lara tweeted. "Australia is a very dangerous team. They've got a strong lineup that can beat anyone. But Pakistan has the bowling & batting prowess to keep them at bay & make the finals," he added.
