The most storied cricket rivals, India and Pakistan, will lock horns in the 2nd match of Super 4’s of the Asia Cup 2022. The historic Dubai Cricket Stadium will host this big game on Sunday night. Pakistan is coming into this fixture after registering a comprehensive victory of 155-runs over Hong Kong.
Men in Blue got an ideal start in the Asia Cup as they defeated Pakistan in the opening match, followed by another victory against Hong Kong. Team India has finished top in the group stage rounds, and now they are marching towards the most-awaited clash of the event. Rohit-led Indian side will be hoping to showcase outrageous cricket against an old rival, Pakistan.
In contrast, Pakistan disclosed their intent in last night’s game against Hong Kong, where they outshined them by a margin of 155-runs. It’s such a huge statement that would inspire Men in Green to take down India. The experienced Baber would be aiming to utilize their prime batting unit as their most-reliable hunting weapon in this event.
Pakistan vs India Asia Cup 2022 Prediction
Well, spirits are always high when Pakistan meets India, and it will be not less than a treat for fans as both hardcore teams are facing each other in the Super 4’s of the Asia Cup 2022. It is pertinent to mention that it is a knockout game, and the side that get defeated will be thrown out of this tournament.
The star-studded India squad has numerous T20 specialists in both bowling and batting departments. In the batting department, India has the likes of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadya, and Virat Kohli. All these batters are in great touch, and the team would expect them to play their best against Pakistan. Furthermore, team India features a world-class pace and spin attack. They have fast bowlers like Kumar, Arshdeep, and Harshal Patel, while their spin attack revolves around Axar Patel, Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya.
On the other hand, Pakistan will rely on its bowling unit rather than trusting batters though they have some big names in the batting line-up. Green Caps has a strong opening pair which comprises Mohammad Rizwan and Baber Azam. However, the team lacks a consistent performing middle-order. In addition, Pakistan has a strong pace attack as it will be the onus of Dhani, Rauf, and Naseem Shah to tackle the unbeatable Indian side.
