The Super Four 2nd match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between India and Pakistan on Sunday, 4th September 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

India and Pakistan are meeting for the second time in Asia Cup 2022. The first match between these two teams was a thriller in which India won in the last over. The winner of this match will have a lot of chances to qualify for the final while the loser will not get out of the contest but has to win almost all remaining matches. Both teams will come into this match with full strength.

Indian batters looked under pressure while chasing a low target on the board against Pakistan. Many match prediction providers thought that India will chase the target of 148 runs in 16 or 17 overs but they went in the last over. The batting order of Pakistan failed to put a big total on the board against India but we saw the best bowling performance by Pakistan.

India has an experienced bowling department and they also performed well against Pakistan but we think that they were not good against Hong Kong. Hardik Pandya was given a rest against Hong Kong but we are sure that he will be part of the final playing eleven for this match against Pakistan. Ravindra Jadeja is out from some next matches due to an injury. This can be a massive blow for India as he was performing well and also played the main role against Pakistan. We think that Axar Patel will have a chance to play this match in place of Ravindra Jadeja.

Deepak Hooda is the other one who has a chance to get a place in the final eleven for this match. We have no doubt that the batting order of India is very strong when we compare it with Pakistan. Virat Kohli has a decent record while playing against Pakistan. He scored more than 50 runs earlier and we are sure that he will prove dangerous against the bowler of Pakistan. KL Rahul had not played any good inning against Pakistan and now he has a chance to change history. Rohit Sharma is in good form these days. We have some questions regarding the bowling unit of India. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has to give his best performance in a match with Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Pakistan made its way to the super four by demolishing Hong Kong with a huge margin of 155 runs but they were not good against India earlier. Especially the batting order of Pakistan failed to put a big total on the board against India. Pakistan is much dependent on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for run-scoring at the top but Babar Azam had not scored many runs in this tournament till now. Mohammad Rizwan is the second-highest run-scorer in the Asia Cup right now. Fakhar Zaman was also good in the previous match against Hong Kong but it will be very tough for him to score runs against the strongest bowling unit in the world.

The strike rate of Mohamamd Rizwan and Babar Azam had not been impressive in this tournament which is a big issue for the batting department of Pakistan. Khushdil Shah scored 11 runs on the first ten balls but smashed four sixes on the next five balls. Asif Ali had not been tested so far while the performance of Iftikhar Ahmed is still pending. The bowling unit of Pakistan is still dangerous even though Shaheen Afridi is not part of the side. Naseem Shah had replaced him and is performing well. He was facing some knee injury against India but was good. Shahnawaz Dahani is also playing in this tournament. He had not picked wickets but had been economical bowlers. Haris Rauf is the only bowler who had not picked wickets. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan are leading the spin bowling unit of Pakistan and are performing well. Still, we think that India is a team who will win today match as they had won five out of the most recent six T20 matches against Pakistan.

India had played 10 T20 matches against Pakistan where they had won 8 matches while Pakistan had won 2 matches.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Axar Patel, Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.

Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani.

India is a very strong and experienced team in T20 cricket and we have no doubt that they are overall a strong team as compared to Pakistan at least on papers. According to our match prediction, India is the favorite team who will win this match. There are many factors that make India a favorite team to win this 2nd Match. Some of the key reasons are mentioned as under:

• India had won five out of the most recent six matches against Pakistan
• India has a world-class bowling unit on the side
• The batting order of India is very strong and more experienced than Pakistan
• The record of Pakistan is very good while playing in Dubai

India is a combination of experienced and young players of the t20 foramt. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for India have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket 2nd Match today is mentioned as under.

India has a 52% chance to win this 2nd Match
Pakistan has a 48% chance to win this 2nd Match

The toss is going to play an important role in the decision of all matches of Asia Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big 2nd Matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The Super Four 2nd match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. This pitch is offering a flat batting surface with a huge amount of pace and bounce. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this 2nd Match. A score of 170 to 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai will be hot and will also test the players physically. It is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted 2nd Match.

Captain: H Pandya
