Colombo, Aug 27: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam believes the recent thumping 3-0 ODI series win over Afghanistan will “inspire” his side and provide much-needed momentum heading into the Asia Cup, starting Wednesday.
The Asia Cup is set to be hosted in a hybrid model by Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 30 till September 17.
Pakistan came up with a terrific performance against Afghanistan, clean sweeping the latter 3-0 in the just-concluded ODI series just before the continental showpiece.
On Saturday, Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 59 runs in the third and final ODI.
“We are thrilled heading into the Asia Cup. How we have won the (ODI) series against Afghanistan will be an inspiration for us in the tournament,” Azam was quoted as saying by PCB. (PTI)
