India and Pakistan meet again, this time in the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup 2022 tournament. Last Sunday, these two Asian rivals squared off in what was an absolute thriller and in the end, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja saw the Men in Blue open their Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a victory. It would be the second meeting between these two teams in this tournament and Pakistan would be eager on having a different outcome this time around. While India were the first side from Group A to make it to the Super 4 stage, Pakistan registered a whopping 155-run win over Hong Kong to qualify. With both these teams in red-hot form, cricket fans can expect a pretty evenly-matched contest. IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2022 Highlights: Watch What Happened Last Time India Faced Pakistan in the Tournament

For India, some of the biggest positives from their win over Hong Kong came in the batting department. While much has been talked about KL Rahul's uncharacteristically slow knock (36 off 39 balls), Suryakumar Yadav's blazing 68* off 26 deliveries and Virat Kohli's solid half-century were the big takeaways for Rohit Sharma and co. What would worry India is their bowling department, especially pacers Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh, both of whom conceded 97 runs in total. The spinners were in good form but Ravindra Jadeja getting ruled out of the tournament is a massive blow. His replacement, Axar Patel is expected to be named in the squad.

Pakistan on the other hand would be brimming with confidence after thrashing Hong Kong by a whopping 155 runs in their last match. Despite skipper Babar Azam once again falling cheaply, the Green Shirts went on to register a massive 193/2, largely due to Mohammad Rizwan's 78 and Khushdil Shah's quickfire 35 off 15 deliveries. What would keep Pakistan slightly psychologically ahead, is their bowling department, which was nothing short of ruthless. Shadab Khan took four wickets while Naseem Shah was at it again, snaring two as Hong Kong were skittled for just 38 runs. However, they too have suffered an injury blow with pacer Shahnawaz Dahani being ruled out of this match.
