The arch-rivals will lock horns in the Group A clash of the continental event on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium after their last meeting at the Champions Trophy earlier this year.<\/h5>\n<h5>Both the sides started off their campaign at the event with a win as India thrashed UAE in their first match while Pakistan beat Oman in their opening clash. Agha expressed confidence that his team is playing good cricket since last few month and has the capability of beating any side in the world. In the past few clashes between the rival nations, India has emerged victorious and would like to continue the same momentum.<\/h5>\n<h5>Further speaking about his confidence, the Pakistan captain said that they have recently won a tri-nation series and they are bent upon executing their plans for a longer period.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u2018I think we have been playing really good cricket in the past 2 or 3 months. I\u2019ve been saying that again and again. We just won a tri-nation series and we won here very comprehensively. So we just need to play a good cricket, and I if we execute our plan for a longer period, I think we\u2019re a good enough team to beat any team,\u2019 said Salman Agha.<\/h5>\n<h2>Emotions running high for the clash<\/h2>\n<h5>While Team India is leaving no stone unturned in polishing their skills ahead of the much-anticipated clash, spirited Pakistan is backing their current form and their win in the opening match of the continental tournament. Ever since the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent Operation Sindoor, there have been constant calls for boycotting the match due to the strained relations between the two countries. While government\u2019s stance remains clear that India will play Pakistan in multilaterals and not bilateral.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan captain Salman Agha has sent a blunt message to India ahead of the high-profile Asia Cup 2025 encounter. \u00a0Pakistan captain Salman Agha has sent a blunt message to India ahead of the high-profile Asia Cup 2025 encounter.
