Pakistan got the better of India in Dubai at their second Asia Cup 2022 contest

India has a top-heavy batting order but it was unable to deliver the goods. Their batsmen wanted to hit the ball for sixers off every delivery and that does not always happen. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul could not create much of an impression. The two openers made some runs and reached their mid-20s but Rohit left first and Rahul followed soon. Virat Kohli was an exception and he ran himself out at a score of 60. Hardik Pandya did not score any run and the Indian innings ended at a score of 181 for 7 in the 20 overs. India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup: Derailed batting plan and unimpressive bowling combine to put India at losing end. Moreover, when the Indians the field, their bowlers did not come up to expectations. Indian spinners were not as effective as their counterpart was and lost the game.

Pakistan, on the other hand, kept their cool and won the game comfortably. Their opener Mohammad Rizwan scored 71. It was the cornerstone for Pakistan’s run chase and they scored 182 for 5 to win the game with one ball to spare. Of course, they lost Babar Azam cheaply but the others braved all odds and took the game to the penultimate delivery. The drama between the archrivals India and Pakistan is now level at one match apiece. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are still in the running but a final between India and Pakistan would be something fantastic. Cricket lovers would love to see such a competition.
