Last time India qualified for the final ... Wasim Akram opened India Pakistan's eyes before Asia Cup

 

The Asia Cup will start from August 30, but before that Pakistan's great bowler Wasim Akram has given such a statement which will open the eyes of both India and Pakistan teams.

Only a few days are left for the start of the Asia Cup 2023. The tournament will be played in Sri Lanka and Pakistan this year under the leadership of Pakistan. Cricket pundits believe that India and Pakistan can face each other in the final of the tournament and both these teams will be the most favorite to win the tournament. But in the meantime, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has given such a statement which will really open the eyes of fans and experts.

In fact, Wasim Akram recalled the last Asia Cup and told the world how everyone had predicted India and Pakistan final but in the end Sri Lanka won the tournament. Talking to the media, he said, 'Last time we said India and Pakistan and Sri Lanka came and won the tournament. These three teams are dangerous. He can win on his day. Other teams have also come to play, last time Sri Lanka won. India's team could not even qualify for the finals. Yes India-Pakistan match is very important, but other teams have also come to play. You cannot ignore Sri Lanka and Bangladesh also.

Not only this, Wasim Akram has also made it clear that this Asia Cup tournament is going to be very difficult for the young bowlers of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This is because here he will have to bowl not just 4 but 10 overs for which he will have to keep his fitness strong. He said, 'It will be a 50 over match, not 20 over. Different mindset and different fitness will be required here. All these young bowlers here, whether they are from India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka... It will be known here whether they can bowl 10 overs or not because nowadays all the bowlers are used to bowling 4 overs.

It has become clear from the statement of the Pakistani veteran that this year's Asia Cup tournament is going to be very difficult for all the players. So it will be interesting to see how they all perform. Significantly, this tournament will also be very important in terms of preparations for the upcoming 50 over World Cup. If we talk about the first match of the tournament, then this match will be played between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan. On the other hand, the great match between India and Pakistan will be held on September 2 at the Pallekele Stadium in Sri Lanka.
