Abhishek Sharma vs Shaheen Afridi will be edge-of-the-seat battle: Morkel

Abhishek Sharma's flamboyance will meet its match in Shaheen Shah Afridi's precision in what promises to be an "edge of the seat" battle in the Asia Cup final on Sunday, according to India's bowling coach Morne Morkel, who has worked with both the talented youngsters. Morkel had earlier worked briefly as a bowling consultant with the Pakistan team where he got a chance to coach the left-arm speedster. "Shaheen is obviously an aggressive bowler that will try and knock you over. And Abhishek is not going to hold back. I think so far, every time these two went head-to-head, we all as cricket supporters and fans are on the edge of our seats, and that's great for the game," Morkel said. Both the players are 25. However, while Shaheen has been around for sometime now, the left-handed Abhishek has taken world cricket by storm with his dashing strokeplay in the ongoing Asia Cup. The Indian hasn't endured a single failure in six games, logging three fifties and three scores of 30 or more. I

Only Sept 28 result matters: PAK coach Hesson on Asia Cup final vs India

They have endured comprehensive defeats against India on back-to-back Sundays in the ongoing Asia Cup but Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson believes that all that matters is the result on coming Sunday when the arch-rivals clash in an Asia Cup final for the first time in 41 years. India beat Pakistan by seven wickets in a group league game and followed it up with another convincing victory by six wickets in the Super 4s stage. "We know that we played on the 14th. We played on the 21st. But really, the only match that really counts is the one at the end. And that will be our focus. Trying to play our best game when it counts," Hesson replied to a query about his message to his players ahead of Sunday's final after they comfortably disposed off a meek challenge from Bangladesh by 11 runs here on Thursday. India and Pakistan have never played the summit clash of the continental event since the inception of the event in 1984 when it used to be only played in Sharjah. Hesson said his side

No disappointment in team despite loss against India: Hussain Talat

Pakistan all-rounder Hussain Talat has rejected suggestions that the team's morale has taken a hit due to the resounding six-wicket loss to India in an Asia Cup Super 4 match, asserting that the players have shut out the criticism to stay composed for the remaining games. Batting all-rounder Talat played a pivotal role in helping Pakistan win by five wickets and earn two crucial points on Tuesday against Sri Lanka, rescuing them from a precarious 80/5 in a chase of 133. His 2/18 and unbeaten 32 helped his side keep alive hopes of an India-Pakistan final after two successive losses in the tournament. Pakistan now have to win against Bangladesh on Thursday to make the final. "No, there was no feeling of mayusi (disappointment) coming into the match (against Sri Lanka) but since we had lost (to India in the Super 4s opener), no one was feeling good...(But) We put in our best effort in that match," said Talat in the post-match press conference on Tuesday.

Suryakumar downplays Indo-Pak rivalry talk, says duels offer no contest

Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav has urged everyone to stop calling the contests against Pakistan a meaningful "rivalry" given how his team has dominated the arch-foes, the most recent demolition act being the six-wicket triumph in a Super 4 match of the ongoing Asia Cup here. India and Pakistan have faced each other 15 times in T20 Internationals, with the reigning world champions winning 12 of those encounters. After the comprehensive win on Sunday night here, the proverbial question on the gulf between the two teams was thrown at Suryakumar by a senior Pakistani journalist. "Sir, my request is that we should now stop calling India vs Pakistan matches a rivalry," Suryakumar responded with a smile. When the scribe clarified that he was referring to "standards, and not the rivalry", the Indian skipper said it hardly makes things any different. "Sir, rivalry and standard are all the same. Now what is a rivalry? If two teams have played 15 matches and it's 8-7, that's a rivalry. Here
