Bold Statement by Babar Azam As Pakistan Faces India In Super 4 Clash

Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, suggested on Saturday that his team will have an advantage against India in Sunday’s Asia Cup Super 4 matchup because of previous experience playing in Sri Lankan conditions. Since the Test series in July, some Pakistani athletes have competed in Sri Lankan competitions, including the Lanka Premier League and one-off ODIs against Afghanistan. In the pre-game press conference, Babar stated, “You may say that we hold an edge (over India) given the constant cricket we are playing both in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

“For the past two months or so, we have been performing here in Sri Lanka. We’ve participated in test matches, a series against Afghanistan, and the LPL. So we do have a benefit, as they say. Due to the tournament schedule,

Babar’s team had to alternate between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but the right-handed batter did not take anything too seriously.

We were always aware of the schedule and the distance we needed to travel. As a result, it’s critical to how we care for our players. Everything has been well planned out, he remarked.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah have combined for 23 wickets in just three games, making Pakistan’s pacers the best in the Asia Cup.

Babar urged his spinners to join the fray in the middle overs, though, to keep the pressure on the opposition from slipping.

“Yes, we have a strong start (with the ball), and our strategy is always to bowl well in the middle overs. An excellent combination is sought after. In the middle overs, we need wickets, but we aren’t getting them.

India and Pakistan are currently playing each other for the second time in the tournament after their league encounter at Pallekele ended in a washout.

Babar wished for more good weather on Sunday.

“We’re concentrating on the things we can control. Given how bright the sun is today, I don’t anticipate much rain tomorrow. We are attempting to practice as much as we can, he continued.
