Pakistan coach Mike Hesson believes his team’s victory in a tri-series tournament with Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates will serve as a “confidence builder” for the Asia Cup starting on Tuesday.
Pakistan thumped Afghanistan by 75 runs on a tricky pitch in Sunday’s final in Sharjah, with Mohammad Nawaz claiming a hat-trick in a career-best five-wicket haul. “We have beaten Afghanistan in conditions that suited their spin attack, which was a real confidence builder,” Hesson said on Monday.
“Heading into the Asia Cup this was also very important for us.”
The 17th edition of the Asia Cup will kick off with a Group B match between Afghanistan and Hong Kong.
