One of cricket’s fiercest and most iconic rivalries – India vs Pakistan is now restricted to just multi-nation events. Here’s full details.
India vs Pakistan Asia cup : Dream 11 Predictions
In the previous contest that took place between the arch-rivals during the T20 World Cup last year in the UAE, Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets in a Super-12 fixture and as the two countries get set for another round of mouth-watering battles in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022, which will be played in the T20 format, India will be looking to bounce back strong. On paper, the Men in Blue are a far stronger and well-balanced side than Pakistan.

Since the T20 World Cup last year, quite a few things have changed, especially for Team India. New skipper Rohit Sharma’s aggressive approach in the shortest format will be up for a stiff test while Pakistan, who have only played 3 T20I series since that 2021 clash vs India, will be looking to get back in the groove ahead of this year’s T20 World Cup.
Over the years, one of the key highlights of an India-Pakistan clash has been the face-off between India batters and the Pakistan fast bowlers. Barring a handful of aberrations, the Indian top-order has been one of the most feared in world cricket. Pakistan, on the other hand, in the last few years have made remarkable improvements in their batting and today carry one of the most flamboyant top-order batters in their line-up.
Dream 11 Predictions
Pitch at Dubai is quite favourable for the batters lately , the pitch is generally hard, pacers do get some quick support from the new ball, however if batters spend some time on crease, they can go huge.
