In the second match of the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2022, the age-old rivals, India and Pakistan, will take on each other once again in this competition. The fixture between the two neighbouring countries will take place on Sunday, September 4 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai at 7:30 PM IST.
After two consecutive victories in the competition, the defending champions are full of confidence and are on the path to recreating the 2018 glory. The death-over bowlers might have received the punishment in the previous outing against Hong Kong but the ferocious batting lineup with the roaring Suryakumar Yadav and back-to-form Virat Kohli is a treat for the Indian camp. A big sigh of relief for Rohit Sharma with batters from the top-four contributing frequently. The Indian team will look to continue its winning streak against Pakistan in Asia Cup by winning the Sunday fixture.
On the other hand, the ongoing edition of the tournament for the Asian supremacy didn’t commence well for Pakistan as they had to suffer a defeat against their arch-rivals in the first game itself. The Babar Azam-led team bounced back in the following game against Hong Kong after bundling out the team for 38. The top order batters, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman contributed significantly, which will be a boost of confidence for the entire unit. The two-time Asia Cup winners will look to settle their scores with the Men in Blue by emerging victorious on September 4.
Head-to-head:
India have the advantage in the head-to-head competition between the two teams in the Asia Cup. Both sides have collided in the tournament 15 times, India won nine matches while Pakistan emerged victorious in five games. One of 15 games have ended in a tie.
In the recent most game, which took place on the previous Sunday, India won the last-over thriller by five wickets.
