Prior to impending India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup match, Ricky Ponting had anticipated the outcome. In the match on August 28 at the Dubai International Stadium, he predicted that the Indian side will triumph. Notably, India and Pakistan have split their 13 head-to-head encounters with India holding a modest 7-5 advantage in the Asia Cup, with one match ending in a tie. Overall, Pakistan and India have the upper hand in the head-to-head matchups.

Ponting believes that both teams will play a close game, but that India has the depth to win the contest.

“For that matchup against Pakistan, I will continue to support India. Pakistan is a fantastic cricketing nation that continues to produce superstar athletes, therefore this does not in any way diminish their contribution to the sport “during an ICC Review episode, the former Australia captain made the statement.

“It is always hard to go past India in any tournament, not just an Asia Cup, but I think every time we talk about the T20 World Cup which is coming up, I think that India will be right in the thick of it there. Their depth is definitely better than the other teams and I think India will win the Asia Cup,” he added.
