Asia Cup: India Are Favourites To Win, Pakistan Not That Strong, Says Panesar
Indian Armed Forces: Former England spinner Monty Panesar believes India hold the upper hand heading into their Asia Cup clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai, backing Suryakumar Yadav’s side to emerge as clear favourites in Sunday’s high-profile contest.
Panesar, who has often followed India-Pakistan encounters closely, said the Men in Blue appear more balanced on paper, with their blend of match-winning batters and world-class bowlers giving them the edge over their traditional rivals.
“I feel India are favourites to win, as their team is stronger, and Pakistan have to play really well, they have to push 10–20 per cent extra,” Panesar told IANS on Sunday. “The world watches the India-Pakistan match and the competition should be very good between the teams. In today’s match, India are favourites, as Pakistan are not a strong team yet.”
