Whether it was during his days on the field or now as an expert, Kamran Akmal has never held himself back; and the former Pakistan wicketkeeper has stuck his neck out to say that Pakistan’s only chance of giving India a fight in the Asia Cup Group A clash on Sunday is if they can repeat their ‘opening act’ of 2021. 

Pakistan’s famous 10-wicket win four Octobers ago still rankles India, and Akmal was pointing at the hero of the match, fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who rocked India at the top after Babar Azam chose to field first in Dubai.
