India and Pakistan will face each other for the second time in the ongoing Asian Cup as both teams battle it out in the Super 4s at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. India played better than Pakistan when these two teams met earlier in the group stage. It was Hardik Pandya in that game, who put on an all-round game to put Rohit Sharma’s team ahead by five hits.
Former captain of Pakistan Wasim Akram said that Babar Azam-The side needs to get out of the losing mindset and make bold calls if they want to beat India.
“As a Pakistani, I want Pakistan to win but the Indian team is coming from a win. They also have Jadeja injured, he and Pandya won the match and promoted Jadeja. We also have to accept the challenges. this kind of risk. It’s optional. the one who beat is at the same number,”Akram tells Pakistani Cricket.
“If there are five passes left, Asif has to come. I hope I’m wrong, but Pakistan needs to get out of the wrong way. Maybe it’s because we created memes on social media. People have to make a sane criticism, come up with a solution and then move on,” he continued.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been unable to make it to the Asian Cup so far, and he will be looking for a good performance against India in the Super 4s.

“Every team is doing their homework now and if you see Babar, if he didn’t win the singles before, his run wouldn’t come. Unfortunately, he was knocked out two early on. the first match. Maybe the Almighty wants him to score in the match against India,” Akram said.
“Babar and Rizwan have been opening innings for the past year and a half. Fakhar was the natural opener but when Rizwan started to play well, he started playing in 3rd place. Changing the opening pair throughout the tournament. fighting is not ideal,” he said.
