Asia Cup 2018: India under pressure from Champions Trophy defeat, says Hasan Ali

Lahore: Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali says pressure will be on arch-rivals India in the upcoming Asia Cup because of the Champions Trophy final defeat last year.

Pakistan will face India for the first time since last year's Champions Trophy final, in which Hasan picked up three wickets in Pakistan's 180-run win.





Pakistan will face India at least twice in the Asia Cup, and three times if both reach the final.

Hasan believes India will be under more pressure because of their defeat in the Champions Trophy final, and that playing in the UAE will give Pakistan 'home' advantage.

"We are on top right now. They (India) are under pressure from the previous defeat," Hassan said.

"In UAE, these are our conditions, we have the home advantage as we have been playing here for long, and are aware of how to use the conditions.

"India are a good side and I wish to take all ten wickets rather than a five-for, and make my fans across the world happy with my celebration style. There is definitely pressure but I feel good when pressure mounts on me because that is where I try to perform and help my side win."

In Pakistan's big win in the Champion Trophy final, Ali did not get to bowl to Kohli, who was snapped up by Mohammad Amir.

The India skipper has been rested for the tournament.

"Virat Kohli is a very good player. Everybody knows that he is a match-winner. The advantage to us is that the way Virat Kohli can handle the pressure, someone else who comes in his place might not be able to," Ali told reporters during Pakistan's pre-tournament camp at the Gaddafi Stadium here Thursday.

Meanwhile Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza said his team is capable of beating India.

"We are not so far from the other team. I think India has a good chance (to win the title), and Pakistan will play at their home-like ground. So, they also have the opportunity (to clinch the trophy). But I want to say that, we have the ability to beat them too. We have to see if we can make the Super Four by playing good cricket in the group phase," Mashrafe said at a press meet on Thursday at Mirpur.

"After that, there are many calculations. If everything goes in the right way, we won't be so far from other teams. We may have to face the tough situation on many occasions. Because we did not play in UAE as a team before. So, the condition will not be easy for us. Overall, we are thinking from every angle," he added
