Predicted XIs
The Asia Cup has witnessed some of the best contests between the sides over the course of 14 editions since 1984. Here is a look at the India-Pakistan records in Asia Cup history.
Here is the full list of squads, captains and teams featuring in the T20 tournament in the UAE from August 27.
HERE is a look at five players who will be key for the Men in Blue in UAE, starting August 27 against Pakistan.
The Asia Cup 2022 on Saturday got off to a rocky start after Sri Lanka batter Pathum Nissanka’s dismissal by the third-umpire against Afghanistan courted controversy.
After losing two wickets in the first over, Sri Lanka landed a surprise jolt in the second when Nissanka (3) was adjudged caught behind by the wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz off Naveen-ul-Haq’s bowling. Sri Lanka went up for a referral and in a surprise decision, the TV umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal declared Nissanka out despite no visible spike on the UltraEdge meter.
India and Pakistan have met nine times in T20Is, and the Men in Blue lead the head-to-head record by 7-2. In their last meeting though, at the 2021 T20 World Cup, Pakistan registered a mammoth 10-wicket win.
The INDvPAK Asia Cup 2022 match will be live streamed on the Disney+Hotstar app and will be telecast on the Star Sports Network in India.
Ahead of the big-ticket clash, India had two high-intensity training sessions on Thursday and Friday, followed by optional nets on Saturday. HERE are the main takeaways
India captain Rohit Sharma will have a headache selecting a strong playing XI for the marquee tournament. But among the sure starters will be one man - Hardik Pandya.
For Pandya, the next two weeks will give a clearer picture on whether this turnaround can amount to anything more than a continental title in Dubai. READ this story from our correspondent Ayan Acharya on the 28-year old all-rounder’s Asia Cup comeback.
India captain Rohit Sharma hopes dew doesn’t play a big role in his team’s Asia Cup 2022 opener this evening. In floodlit games in the UAE, the dew tends to make the ball harder to grip for the defending team’s bowlers, as was evident during last year’s T20 World Cup.
