Amir, visibly irritated, said, 'India won, that's fine. They're not going to bring the trophy to my house anyway. They'll take it to their own place and celebrate.'

He added a brief 'well done' before the conversation moved on.

Shahzad defends predictions

Former Pakistan opener Ahmad Shahzad, who was part of the same discussion, stepped in to calm the situation.

Shahzad said predictions are a normal part of cricket analysis and should not be taken too seriously.

He framed Amir's pre-match view as a cricketing opinion based on his experience as an international player.

He said 'Predictions are part of the game.'

He added 'Aamir shared his view like any analyst would.'

He said 'People should learn to accept differing opinions.'

The text uses both 'Amir' and 'Aamir' for the same person, creating a spelling inconsistency in the source.
