IND vs PAK Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match Between India and Pakistan, Asia Cup 2022, Match 2

After the blowdown on October 24th, 2021, India and Pakistan take each other on as India look to settle things down after what happened in the last IND vs PAK encounter. This time around, both teams are missing some key players. Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi are out. India’s half-centurion in the last encounter is coming back after a break and will have a lot of attention on him due to his form. Likewise, Pakistan’s batting will be one to watch as they look very settled and are very good when they play in Dubai. The bowling though is a concern as Pakistan are battling injuries and will be coming in without any left-arm seamers for this tournament.

IND vs PAK Key Players

Suryakumar Yadav

The spotlight is likely to be on Virat Kohli who is returning from a break and the top three of India reuniting, but India’s hopes will largely rest on Suryakumar Yadav. He is easily the most versatile batter on the Indian side and can attack with ease while playing a nice blend of unorthodox strokes against pace and spin. If anyone can shift the momentum against Pakistan it is him, and India will need him to score well badly.

Babar Azam

In the T20 World Cup, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan took India apart with the bat. Both wickets are key yet again. Babar Azam is coming in with good form behind him and is rising as one of the best players in the current generation. If India is to stop Pakistan it will need to find a way past Babar Azam.

IND vs PAK Match Tips

Pakistan made easy work of India in the T20 World Cup last year and should be very confident, especially with Virat Kohli out of form. India’s batting looks a touch inconsistent at the top and both sides are missing some key bowlers. Looking at the form Pakistan will walk in as a favorite despite records suggesting otherwise.
