Does Pakistan have more riveting and competitive rivalry with Bangladesh and Afghanistan than India?

[BlackThunder]

History and politics aside I think Pakistan's rivarly with Bangladesh and Afghanistan is much more competitive and hard fought than with India.

Only when Pakistan plays Afghanistan/Bangladesh can their fans truly feel what we feel while playing Pakistan.

The pressure of playing a smaller nation with annoying little overexcited fans making a big deal of it.

If PAkistan win in the Final. India would have won two warm up matches.

We will talk after the final. This is Pakistan's weakest era and India's most successful and despite this Pakistan still gives India run for their money.

Yeah, we all saw how Pakistan gave India a run for their money over the last two games.

Indian’s gloating I see. Pipe down. Tournament is still ongoing.

If I recall, most posters here before Asia cup were saying this is a 3 match ODI series between Ind and Pak. And if we go by those claims, Ind wins the series 2-1 even if we lose the final.

But going by some posters (most hiding now ) before Asia cup, this is one of the greatest Pak team and how tables have turned since CT Final. So surprised you claim your team as weakest. Also, Indian team is not even full strngth. We are missing captain who is also the best batsman in the world, plus our middle order is pre-historic. Also, with Pandya getting injured, the team got weakened further in batting dept.

Regardless of who wins the Friday finale, I feel Afghanistan and India are currently the top two teams from Asia.

Pakistan is a minnow at the moment so yes. Bangladesh is our true rival and they can easily win on the 26th.

India is far too great for us to compete with. Sure, we can beat India on that off day where all of our players are playing out of their skin but in a best of 5 matches we would probably only win 1 if we are lucky.

I would not swap 3 wins here for CT final if I am honest. Having said that nobody in their right mind say that we can just beat this Indian team whenever we want, its a good Indian side after all. But still loss is a loss I am sure Pak wanted to win these two matches so fair play to India for winning and you as a fan can be happy about it for sure.
