Asian Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan: India focuses on top approach and death bowling | News about cricket

DUBAI: Popular top unit will be desperate to fix course while bowling attack could be readjusted as India aim for a ‘Sunday Encounter’ against Pakistan in one Asian Cup Clash of ‘Super 4s’.
If the top-order Powerplay philosophy is a problem, the inexperience of Avesh Khan Death is equally a worry as the team leadership may need to revamp the bowling attack against a strong Pakistani team heading into the match after destroying Hong Kong over 150 rounds.
In the absence of Ravindra Jadeja in this game, Axar Patel might seem like an immediate replacement but the team’s combination would be successful without the almighty Saurashtra.
In the final match against Pakistan, head coach Rahul Dravid promoted Jadeja to number four to keep the left-right combination in the top six as Rishabh Pant was dropped from the squad.
It remains to be seen if the captain Rohit Sharma and Dravid will gamble again on Sunday. But it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that when it comes to the requirement to have a pure left-hander in the top six, only the man from Roorkee can come up with a solution.

Last Sunday it was Hardik Pandya’s one-man performance that gave India the lead in a thrilling final game and Rohit also expects that intensity to be maintained in this match.
However, the Indian team, despite being a talented minefield, is somewhat underwhelming and the cautious approach of the superiors in overcoming Powerplay is one of them.
Neither Virat kohli Rohit also did not seem comfortable with the Pakistani onslaught and as the pitch began to slow down, their problems seemed to become more complicated.
It was Suryakumar Yadav’s absolute excellence that saved India from an embarrassing batting against the Hong Kong side with KL Rahul’s out-of-sync in the slowest ever inning (36 of 39 balls). ).

A pertinent question now is whether India will change their top order and add some firepower as it is clear that the combination of Rahul, Rohit and Kohli does not work well for the team. .
It’s fair to Rahul, he deserves another start as he was knocked off by Naseem Shah on the first tackle he faced in Sunday’s game.
But the think tank needed to make it clear to Rahul that he needed to change his view of looking at the quant of runs rather than the quality and impact it made.

For their part, the Pakistani team also wants to score more goals in the first 10 rounds.
Mohammed Rizwan and Babar Azam had all the success in the chase but hitting the ball first wasn’t exactly the pair’s strong point.
In addition, the slowness of the Dubai track also creates some problems for the racers.
This raises another question whether Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh can feature in match 11.

While Axar’s limited bowling is an option, you can try Deepak Hooda as an all-round hitter or Ravichandran Ashwin as an all-around bowler.
With lefties in Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah in the top six, an outfielder to take the ball away could prove to be a good proposition alongside Bhuvneshwar and Hardik, who are bowling in full tilt.
All in all, another Super Sunday could also be on the cards when two bitter neighbors are ready to lock horns.
