ASIA CUP 2022: INDIA VS PAKISTAN SUPER 4 MATCH PREVIEW

There is always chatter around India-Pakistan matches and this one is no exception. Even though the result does not really affect their standing and their position in the finals but does bring hype to the Asia Cup 2022 which we are all ready for.

India has won all two of its matches in their journey to Super 4 as they topped their group beating Pakistan in the first match and later Hongkong in the second. The team is powered by both batters and bowlers and amazing all-rounders. They did have a setback when Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the cup due to a knee injury but he too is replaced by very capable Axar Patel in the squad.

Pakistan may have lost its match against India but their comeback in the low total match speaks about their strength which is their bowling. Had it not been for the cramps, we could have seen a different result too. Their performance against Hongkong simply speaks for itself and that is why they will be competing against India to decide which team will be the topper of Group A.

Earlier, each team competed against the other teams in their group once during the group stage. The top two teams from each group will advance to the final four. Each team will compete against the other in one match during the super 4 round. The top two teams will advance to the championship game, which will take place on September 11 in Dubai.
India and Pakistan are the top 2 teams who have qualified for Super 4 from Group A and thus will be playing against each other before the Semis.

How the pitch will play?

The cricket field at Dubai International Stadium has an average scoring rate. In T20I matches, the average first innings score at the venue is 141, while the average second innings score is 124. Pakistan got bowled out for 147 against India in the previous game. In earlier games of the competition, the pitch was quite helpful to pacers.

INDIA VS PAKISTAN Probable Playing XI:

India: Rohit Sharma©, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant(wk), Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh

Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan(wk), Babar Azam©, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Shahnawaz Dahani, Naseem Shah

INDIA VS PAKISTAN Players to Watch out for:

From India, we can expect all eyes to be on Virat Kohli yet again. Rohit Sharma should amp up his game and try to stay for longer as an opener. KL Rahul has been disappointing with the way he has been batting and fans will look forward to a changed approach. In the bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is always a reliable one. Yuzvendra Chahal should impress with the ball now.

From Pakistan, as usual, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan take all the attention. They can try sending either of the two at no. 3. Shadab Khan as an allrounder looks promising. Dahani and Naseem should be the star bowlers.

India vs Pakistan: who will win?

We can expect all things and everything from this match. Earlier being regarded as the finalists of the tournament, the teams are meeting yet again before that and it will definitely decide how their form looks and if they are worthy of entering the finals. Not a lot is at stake as both the teams qualify for Semis. Fans will expect it to be a dress rehearsal for Finals. Either team can win, so keep your fingers crossed while you support your favorite one. India still takes a lead 😛
