It is the clash of the arch rivals in the Asia Cup 2022 with India gearing up to face Pakistan in Dubai. With external factors preventing their meetings in the international calendars, any Ind vs Pak game creates a lot of buzz and this one is no different. India headed into the Asia Cup 2022 on the back of the West Indies and Zimbabwe series where many of their first team players were rested. They are now revitalised and raring to go. But Pakistan is no pushover and boasts of a quality squad. They defeated India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 when teams met last time and it turned out to be a fairly one-sided contest and thus there are no clear favourites.

Virat Kohli is back for India and how the fans are praying for the great man to be back in form. KL Rahul should open with Rohit Sharma while Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are certain to play. Dinesh Karthik could be left out in favor of Rishabh Pant while Arshadeep Singh replaces Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI. The team management may opt for Ravi Ashwin considering the Dubai pitch.
Pakistan is a batting-heavy side with Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman leading the charge. If they can get themselves in, the trio is capable of decimating any opposition. Shadab Khan has been playing franchise cricket in several leagues and that experience will come in handy for Pakistan. The absence of Shaheen Afridi means there will be added pressure on Naseem Shah and co.
