Only match that matters is final: Hesson on Asia Cup defeats against India
The Statesman
|September 27, 2025
Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson has downplayed concerns over his team’s back-to-back defeats to India in the ongoing Asia Cup, stressing that the only result that truly matters is Sunday’s final against their arch-rivals.
India have dominated Pakistan in this edition so far, registering a seven-wicket win in the group stage before repeating the result with a six-wicket victory in the Super 4s.
“We know that we played on the 14th. We played on the 21st. But really, the only match that really counts is the one at the end. And that will be our focus. Trying to play our best game when it counts,” Hesson said after Pakistan sealed their place in the final with a nervy 11-run win over Bangladesh on Thursday.
“So now it's up to us to make the most of it. And I think all the games that have happened up to this point now have been around trying to get yourself in a position to win the trophy. And that’s what we've been talking about the whole time,” he added.
