India vs Pakistan matches are one of the most talked about events across the cricketing fraternity. The much-awaited 2023 ODI World Cup match between two arc rivals will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15. Pakistan batter Imam-ul-Haq reckons that under the leadership of Babar Azam, the Pakistan team can do wonders. According to him, it will be great if Pakistan ends up winning the World Cup in India.
“Playing in India, especially against India, and doing something special (was something) which Babar and I were discussing before 2010,” Imam spoke during a conversation with Pakistan’s YouTube channel Grassroots Cricket.
“I really believe our one-day team is the most compatible and balanced team. The combination is similar to 2019. Whenever you give opportunities to players, performances will come. We have chased 350 here (in Pakistan), we’ve scored 330 in South Africa, we won the series there. So yes, everybody is excited. A bit nervous as well, I won’t lie. This team can do wonders, and it would be good for our nation if we win the World Cup in India,” Imam added.
The southpaw also talked about his batting and how he has evolved since the 2019 World Cup.
“Yes, I really believe. If I ask myself, if I see in the mirror, Imam-ul-Haq is very different from 2019 to 2023. I’m much older, much more mature”.
“And as a senior, now I’ve the responsibility. I’ve developed my shots as well. From last 4 years, my performances have gone up to a good level, so I want to continue that,” he stated.
Earlier, the International Cricket Council announced the full fixture of the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The World Cup 2023 will kick off on October 5 with the clash between England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
