‘Pakistan don’t offer much competition’: BCCI takes swipe after Asian Games final

Following a recent continental tournament showdown, the Board of Control for Cricket in India offered a blunt assessment regarding the depth of competition posed by their traditional adversaries. During the championship match of the Asian Games, the national squad secured a gold medal triumph by defending a massive total of 211 runs against their neighboring rivals.

Key batting contributions from Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma set up the victory, while a resilient 96-run effort by Hasan Nawaz ultimately fell short as the bowling attack closed out the 19-run win.
