Security is tight in Islamabad where Pakistan is favored to topple India in the upcoming 3-test series. At least according to legendary Pak all-rounder Imran Khan.

Hailing current captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and speedster Shoaib Akhtar as a ‘match winning pair’, Imran said the timing and weather would also help the Pakistani fast bowlers.

“The last time when India visited it was summer (April) and now it is winter (January), which will benefit our bowlers,” the former left-arm paceman was quoted as saying by local daily ‘Dawn’ on Tuesday.

Team India has been something of a giant killer as of yet, trouncing the favored Sri Lanka in both one day and test matches, and playing to a draw with the #2 ranked South Africa. The smell of victory is in the air, and against Pakistan, you know India will be playing for keeps!
