Asia Cup 2022: India vs Pakistan, Super 4 – Dafanews Match Preview

It is not often that cricket fans around the globe get the pleasure of watching two India vs Pakistan matches in a week’s time, with the probability of a third also happening soon. India will once again lock horns against Pakistan in the second match of the Super Four stage of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: W W W W W

India’s aggressive approach seemed to have gone on the back burner in the clash against Hong Kong and they will look to get back to their new template of aggressive batting against a quality Pakistan bowling line-up. Furthermore, all eyes will be on Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh as they were expensive against Hong Kong. India has suffered a huge blow as Ravindra Jadeja is ruled out with a knee injury.

Current form of Pakistan: W L L W W

Pakistan did everything right against Hong Kong and registered a big win of 155 runs to secure their Super Four berth. The Men in Green have a potent bowling line-up and they had tested the Indian batters in the previous clash. Pakistan will want to come up with a better batting show against the Rohit Sharma-led team.

Head to Head: Matches – 10, Won by India – 8, Won by Pakistan – 2.

India clearly holds the advantage against Pakistan in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for India.

Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, Fakhar Zaman, and Naseem Shah will be crucial players for Pakistan.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.
