Babar Azam Feels There is No Pressure in India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Clash; Says We’ll Approach it Like Any Other Match
New Delhi: Babar Azam in a recent media interaction said he feels no pressure regarding the high-octane India vs Pakistan match in the upcoming Asia Cup and responded in a diplomatic way when a journalist asked him whether the Men in Green will beat the Men in Blue 3-0 if they face thrice in the competition.
“Dekhe pressure kuch nahi hai. Koshish yahi hoti hai ki match ko match k tarha hi khele. (We’ll try to approach it like any other match),” Babar Azam said.
Even though the Pakistan skipper admits that there will be a different kind of pressure during the match but he also stated that they will be focusing on their game and abilities.
The main tournament will feature six teams divided into two groups. India, Pakistan and the qualifier are in Group A while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan form Group B. Each team plays within the group once.
The tournament, originally to be played in Sri Lanka was moved to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) a few days back following the political and economic crisis in the island nation.
India will battle it out against Pakistan on August 28 at Dubai International stadium in UAE.
