“No team is favourite during India vs Pakistan clash, whoever plays well will win”: Sourav Ganguly ahead of the awaited clash.
In anticipation of the forthcoming Asia Cup 2023, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has asserted that the Rohit Sharma-led team and the Babar Azam-led side are not to be considered as clear favorites when facing off against each other. Ganguly, emphasized that both squads exhibit comparable prowess, implying that the squad exhibiting superior cricketing performance on September 2nd will clinch the victory.It is worth noting that Pakistan has recently emerged as a formidable adversary for India. The top-order batsmen of the Indian roster have struggled against Shaheen Shah Afridi’s bowling prowess.
Consequently, their clash in the upcoming Asia Cup assumes a pivotal role as a battle to closely observe. Conversely, India secured a triumph over Pakistan in their prior encounter during the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli played a dominant role in dismantling Pakistan’s bowling lineup, and he is poised to replicate a similar performance. Consequently, Ganguly envisions an enthralling contest, although he refrains from selecting a prospective victor.
Ganguly said โIt would be tough for me to name the favourite to win the match. Both the teams are really good. Pakistan have a good team, India too are really solid. Whoever plays well will win, I donโt think thereโs anyone favourite as such. Whoever plays well will emerge victorious.”
