The Asia Cup 2025 final is set to feature a highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan, a rare occurrence as it’s the first final between these two teams in over four decades. India has already defeated Pakistan twice in the tournament. Pakistan, seeking to end their losing streak, will face a formidable Indian side aiming to secure the Asia Cup title.
Wasim Akram, a former Pakistan cricketer, has offered his perspective on the upcoming final. He believes Pakistan’s chances of winning depend on their bowling strength.
Akram expressed his optimism for Pakistan’s bowling unit to deliver on Sunday. He acknowledged India’s favored status, yet he pointed out the inherent unpredictability of cricket, where a decisive innings or a strong bowling performance can dramatically alter the course of a match. He advised the Pakistan team to leverage their current momentum and play smart cricket.
He also mentioned that early wickets of key Indian batsmen, like Abhishek and Gill, could put India under pressure. Akram anticipates a closely contested game and wishes the superior team to win.
