IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2022, Super 4 Match 2: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday, September 4, in the second match of the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup 2022. This will be the second meeting between the teams in the ongoing T20 tournament. The Men in Blue registered a five-wicket win when the two teams clashed at the same venue earlier in the tournament.
Batting first, Pakistan managed only 147 runs on the board. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/26) and Hardik Pandya (3/25) stood out with the ball for India. Pakistan’s bowlers fought hard, but Virat Kohli (35 off 34) and Ravindra Jadeja (35 off 29) absorbed the pressure before Pandya (33* off 17) did a brilliant finishing job.
Team India suffered a major blow ahead of the Super 4 stage as all-rounder Jadeja was ruled out of the tournament due to a right knee injury. Axar Patel has been named as his replacement. It remains to be seen how Jadeja’s absence impacts India’s efficiency.
