Speaking on Geo Super channel, the seasoned campaigner tipped Australia,
South Africa, New Zealand and India to be in the semi-finals.
"Pakistan's bowling is not strong for this tournament and if Muhammad Hafeez is also not cleared to bowl than our bowling is going to be tested a lot," he said.
Ajmal, who will fly to Chennai this week for the official ICC bowling assessment test to get his modified bowling action cleared, said that without him and Hafeez Pakistan has lost experienced bowlers in a mega event.
He said the Pakistan batsmen will have to perform extraordinarily well in all matches to give the team a strong chance of winning their matches. "But I still don't think Pakistan can be counted among the favorites to make the semi-finals. I see Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India in the top four because they are the teams in form at the moment."
Ajmal suspended from international cricket since last September said that the sort of form AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Brendon McCullum had shown in the run up to the World Cup indicated they were going to score in the mega event.
