The match of India-Pakistan is on August 28 in Dubai. It is around this match that a storm has started to rise in the cup of tea with the Asia Cup. Who will have the last laugh in the most sought-after duel of international cricket? Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has a bet for India. Not only in the match against Pakistan, but in the entire tournament, Ponting’s favorite is India.

Speaking about the Asia Cup in the ICC Review, Ponting said, ‘I will put India ahead in the match against Pakistan on August 28. Even if Pakistan loses this match, there is no loss because they are an extraordinary cricket nation. They are consistently gifting megastars. But India has more depth than any other team. I believe India will win the Asia Cup this time. I think India will be among the favorites not only in the Asia Cup but also in the T20 World Cup.’
