The Mahamukabala of Asia Cup 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan on 14 September. However, before this match, the statement of the former Pakistan captain has created a sensation. The former captain believes that emotions often dominate against arch -rivals India, due to which Pakistan has to lose important matches.

At the same time, bilateral cricket between the two neighboring countries has been closed for more than a decade due to political tension. Compared to them, ICC and ACC are limited to tournaments. In the last 10 years, this rivalry has been largely unilateral, in which India have won 12 out of 15 matches. Now both will collide in the Asia Cup once again.

At the same time, Rashid Latif, in the former Pakistan captain, told PTI that, we get emotional or very excited and try to do everything at once. We do not take the match against India much further and this is why Pakistan loses. On the other hand, India plays according to the pitch and the position of the match. So they succeed. Pakistan has been under pressure for the last 30 years. So perhaps India will try to take advantage of it.

Latif believes that Hardik Pandya’s finishing capacity, Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson get balance to Team India. At the same time, Jaspreet Bumrah’s ability to maintain restraint with Bigod Yorker with unmatched yorker at this time makes him a former team.

Latif said that Hardik Pandya is a dangerous player. Middle order players or players coming down can change the game. Pandya has done this not once, but many times. Which is amazing and that is why they are called X Factor. He can change the game completely. Players like Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav bring balance. Bumrah is a deadly weapon in bowling. Overall, it is a very good team.
