By IANS News September 12, 2025 • 20:10 PM View: 1133

Telecom Asia Sport: Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram believes Pakistan will put up a strong fight against a dominant India when the two sides meet in the Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday.

The highly-charged clash between the arch-rivals – their first since May’s military conflict – has generated global buzz, with tickets already sold out, according to a news report.

India, the defending champions, have been in imperious form, winning 18 of their 21 T20 Internationals since claiming the World Cup last year. They underlined their status with a crushing nine-wicket win over hosts UAE in their opening game on Wednesday.
