India-Pakistan will meet after 10 days in Asia Cup
The Pakistani batsman has made a big claim about the team before the big match
New Delhi. India and Pakistan will face each other in the Asia Cup on September 2. If both teams reach the Super-4 and then the final, three matches will be played in 15 days. After this, the two teams will clash in the ODI World Cup on October 14. That is, between September and October, cricket fans will get to see many high-voltage matches between India and Pakistan one after the other. Before this match, Pakistan batsman Imam ul Haque has made a big claim before the World Cup. He said that opponents are afraid of Pakistan’s ODI team.
Imam-ul-Haq said in the podcast, “I try to live in the present. I’m not thinking about the World Cup right now. It is true that preparation for the World Cup is on my mind. I know people are really scared of our ODI team because we have had some great wins. We have a pattern, which we follow. I think our ODI team is particularly good.”
Our ODI team is very strong: Imam
Imam said that our strength is fast bowling and batting. I have played 60 matches, Fakhar has played 70 matches, Babar has played more than 100 matches. Naseem, Shaheen, Haris and Wasim are also juniors. Then Shadab and Nawaz and Usama Mir have also joined our team. Iftikhar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha are Rizi (Rizwan). I’m not saying it’s a good team because I’m a part of it. I would say that it is a balanced team, even though I am playing with this team now. But I believe there can be no better team. Players know their role. That is why I am asserting that our ODI team is better than T20.
A day ago, Pakistan’s fast bowlers bowled brilliantly in the first ODI against Afghanistan. Despite scoring 201 runs, Pakistan dismissed Afghanistan for just 59 runs. Haris Rauf took 5 wickets for 18 runs and Shaheen Afridi took 2 consecutive wickets.
