Former Australian cricket player Tom Moody recently shared his thoughts ahead of the upcoming India vs Pakistan match. In his views, the clash between these historical rivals holds even more significance than the Ashes between two very old rivals England and Australia.
Additionally, Tom Moody offered his perspective on the anticipated match that is set to take place during the Asia Cup 2023.
India and Pakistan are poised to clash in the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, scheduled for September 2nd in Kandy. The prospect of three potential matches looms large, as they could cross paths during the Super 4 stage and the final.
In recent years, the already intense rivalry between India and Pakistan has escalated further. The traditionally dominated Men in Green have stepped up their game, providing formidable opposition and securing victories over their rivals on significant occasions.
The lack of bilateral series between India and Pakistan since 2013 due to political tensions adds an extra layer of significance to the match in the Asia Cup and ICC World Cup 2023.
The anticipation surrounding the upcoming game has already captivated many, setting the stage for an enthralling and eagerly awaited match.
Discussing the upcoming match, former Australian cricketer Tom Moody emphasized that both teams possess remarkable qualities. He noted that the Pakistani team stands out as a genuine threat due to their blend of experience and talent.
During his appearance on Star Sports, Moody elaborated, stating, “In my opinion, this match holds even more significance than the Ashes. It consistently carries a captivating narrative, involving two exceptional cricketing nations.” Moody’s answer is quite surprising for many cricket fans given he is Australian and England and Australia share an intense and old cricketing rivalry.
The Asia Cup 2023 kicks-off on the 30th of August with the match between hosts Pakistan and Nepal. The match between India and Pakistan will be played on the 2nd of September and there are chances for more matches in the Super Four and Final match of the tournament if both the teams progress to the next round.
Following the Asia Cup 2023, India and Pakistan are set to compete once again in the ICC World Cup 2023. That match is scheduled for October 14th in Ahmedabad, promising another thrilling showdown between the two teams.
