Pak still Asia Cup favourites: Wahab after loss
Pakistan remains the favored team to win the Women's Asia Cup, according to mentor Wahab Riaz, following a humbling 55-run defeat against India in their opening league match in Dubai. The Indian bowlers, playing their 200th T20I, put Pakistan under pressure throughout the innings and dismissed the team for their lowest-ever T20I score of 55.
Despite the crushing loss, Riaz remains confident in his team's ability to bounce back and challenge for the trophy. He believes his players have the skill to succeed, but need to trust themselves. Riaz also defended the team's squad changes, stating they were made with the future in mind and aimed at developing a squad capable of competing in upcoming tournaments.
Pakistan now faces Hong Kong on Monday, aiming to quickly respond after their disappointing performance against India.
