Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Wasim Akram has described India as a contender for victory in the Asia Cup final. At the same time, he has hoped from the Pak team that he will take the field with the intention of increasing confidence and victory. Team has reached the final by trampling Pakistan in India Group Stage and then in the Super-4 round. At the same time, Pakistan lost to India in the tournament on both occasions.

Last Thursday, Pakistani bowlers also defended a small target of 136 runs against Bangladesh. Wasim Akram hopes that the Pakistani players will enter the field with the same passion.

Wasim Akram said, “I hope that Pakistan team will do well again. This is an India-Pakistan match, in which Team India will be a strong contender for victory on Sunday. But along with me the whole world has also seen that anything can happen in T20 format. A good innings or a good spell can turn the entire match.”

The veteran Pakistani bowler said that the Pakistan team will have to uphold the rhythm of victory over Bangladesh on Sunday. He says that if the Pakistani bowlers initially dismiss the Indian opening batsmen, then the Pakistan team can demolish India’s middle order. Abhishek and Gill had partnered 105 runs against Pakistan in the Super-4 round match.

Wasim Akram said, “Especially Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill can go to Team India backfoot due to early dismissal. It will be a close match and hope the best playing team will be victorious.”
