Many experts believe that Pakistan has a good chance of winning the T20 World Cup as it shifts to UAE from India. It is because UAE was Pakistan's home for many years. Salman Butt highlighted the fact that most teams would need to adjust to the conditions of the UAE.
The Pakistan team was banned from playing in their home after a terrorist attack on Sri Lankan players in 2009. They hosted several matches in UAE.
Salman Butt explained that many international and Indian players would be well adjusted to the pitch and conditions of the UAE. He stated that Indian players would play in the IPL 2021 phase 2 in UAE. All the top international players would also play in the IPL. So players of almost every T20 World Cup team would have a fair idea about the condition in UAE. They would get to plan the average scores and proper team structure based on the conditions. Even if the world cup was held in India, then the conditions would have been similar to Pakistan.
The T20 World Cup was initially set to be hosted in India. But due to health and safety issues regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, BCCI has moved the tournament to UAE and Oman.

According to Butt, Pakistan would have a good chance of reaching the finals in the World Cup. The conditions in UAE would most probably assist spinners and Pakistan has good spinners in their team. He also added that teams with good fast bowlers would also succeed in that pitch.
Pakistan has played many matches in the UAE including the remaining half of PSL. With good spin bowlers, Pakistan can reach the finals of the tournament. But the pitches are the same as Abu Dhabi then fast bowlers would also be successful. Especially fast bowlers who can hit good length would get success on those pitches.
