Pakistan can be a dangerous
opponent: Ganguly
COLOMBO: India captain Saurav Ganguly believes his side’s recent
success against arch-rivals Pakistan will count for little when the
teams meet in the Asia Cup on Sunday. Pakistan produced a dismal
performance against Sri Lanka on Wednesday and must beat India to
retain a chance of qualifying for the final.
India can still qualify if they lose, assuming they do not concede a
bonus point and beat Sri Lanka on Tuesday, but they would then have
to depend on their net run rate.
India start as favorites after their 3-2 win in Pakistan this year,
but Ganguly says his team will be taking no chances against very
dangerous opponents.
"The past does not matter in any tournament in sport," Ganguly said.
"It will be a new day and whoever plays well tomorrow will win the
game. "We will have to play well," he
added. "Whoever wins this game will probably go to the finals. It is
an important game for both sides."
"India-Pakistan is the same tense game wherever you play. The
results are watched by millions," he said.
