Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], September 21 (ANI): Ranchi MP and Minister of State (MoS) Defence Sanjay Seth on Sunday expressed confidence in the Indian Team ahead of the India vs Pakistan match, saying that there is no doubt that a victory saga would be written today and Pakistan will be defeated.
India will meet Pakistan for the second time in the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 stage at the Dubai International Stadium today.
While participating in a cyclothon organised in Ranchi under the “Sansad Khel Mahotsav”, the Union Minister told ANI, “Is there any doubt? India’s victory is certain. India’s victory saga will be written even today…The Indian team is fit and has great strength…Today, the Indian team will do what India wants from them to defeat Pakistan.”
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh also expressed confidence that India will repeat its previous performance and defeat Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash in Dubai.
Speaking to the reporters in Kolkata, Ghosh said, “India is playing well in the Asia Cup. What happened in the last match will be repeated this time. They will play well and win. Everyone is hopeful.”
Team India will take on their arch-rivals Pakistan in a high-voltage Super Four clash at Dubai on Sunday, with a lot more than a spot in the final at stake.
This is the second clash between these two nations following the Pahalgam terror attacks back in April and the consequent launching of Operation Sindoor by the Indian Armed Forces against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
India won the first clash one-sided, carrying out a comfortable chase of 128 runs with seven wickets in hand and spinner Kuldeep Yadav played a crucial hand with a ‘Player of the Match’ winning bowling spell of 3/18, which restricted Pakistan to 127/9.
From Pakistan, their spin attack of Mohammed Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, Saim Ayub and Sufiyan Muqeem could be expected to give some tough fight. Ayub, the opening batter who has had an unfortunate run of three successive ducks so far, will be aiming to break the streak and get some runs worthy of praise under his belt against a top-class Indian line-up.
For India, the spin trio of Kuldeep, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel will have to replicate the magic that they did in Dubai last time, conceding just 60 runs and picking six wickets in their collective 12 overs. Jasprit Bumrah, the beloved ‘Jassi Bhai’ of India, will be looming as a threat no matter what phase of the game. (ANI)
