Asia Cup 2022: 5 Reasons Why Pakistan Can’t Defeat India In Asia Cup 2022

Asia Cup 2022: 5 Reasons Why Pakistan Can’t Defeat India In Asia Cup 2022: Team India is indeed one of the best teams in the world. Looking at its previous performance, one cannot deny that the Men in Blue are in good form. India will face Pakistan in the first game of the Asia Cup, intending to avenge their World Cup defeat against Pakistan. 

When it comes to T20 cricket, no doubt Pakistan is the best of all. Taking note of December 2021, Pakistan and co had played 190 T20I games, where the green army had won 117 games and had lost only 65 games with two ties and five no results. Pakistan holds an overall winning percentage of 64.05. 

Keeping stats aside and talking absolutely based on the latest form, India had defeated cricketing giants such as West Indies and England, performed well against Ireland, and are now touring Zimbabwe, taking a 1-0 lead in the ongoing contest. 

India vs Pakistan is considered to be the peak of any rivalry; the pressure built on and off the field is intense. Any player, no matter how young or experienced he is, aims to perform well. The way Australia thrashed Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022 displayed how Pakistani’s bowling line-up can be devasted. 

We are here with an article highlighting five significant points, Why Pakistan Can’t Defeat India In Asia Cup 2022.

Asia Cup 2022: 5 Reasons Why Pakistan Can’t Defeat India In Asia Cup 2022

Already played Shaheen Afridi In World Cup 2022

You may not have forgotten how Shaheen Afridi single-handedly changed the entire aura of the game and shifted the momentum on Pakistan’s side. India not playing any series against Pakistan may or may not be the reason for their defeat, but India struggled against quality pace. The bowling line-up Pakistan brings is something Indian batters may not get in IPL or against any other teams. 

Team India playing IPL, struck in bio bubble, and Virat Kohli announcing his captaincy retirement. At the same time, several things were going on in the Indian dressing room that needed to be handled well. However, under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, the Men in Blue are marching with a remarkable vision. 

Hardik Pandya’s All-round Performance 

Hardik Pandya’s injury was the primary concern during the 2022 World Cup, but looking at his previous performance, one cannot deny that Pandya is in good shape and can be lethal with the bat and the ball. The right-handed batting all-rounder may now contribute to his best. 

Pandya has the ability to shift the momentum of the game whenever it is needed. Not only Pandya, but Suryakumar Yadav in the middle over is someone that doesn’t leave the crease quickly. With this lethal line-up and Pandya back in action, it would not at all be an easy task for Pakistan to defeat India.  

India has better depth than the other teams

In comparison to Pakistan, India has an excellent bowling combination. Apart from bowler Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan currently lacks a genuine wicket-picking option. For the time being, India has that impact; they can return because they have been playing a lot of T20 cricket. This can indeed work for India, and they can dominate the contest with their lethal bowling line-ups. 

IPL Conditions

Indian Premier League can be a game-changer as Indian players are familiar with Dubai pitches. Indian players had performed well in Dubai conditions and have much more pressure-handling experience than Pakistan. India touring giant cricketing board can also be one reason they are on edge against Pakistan, as I have not heard Pakistan touring much against sucessful cricketing board rather than Zimbabwe. 

The Virat Kohli Affect

I agree that Virat is not hitting centuries these days, but Kohli’s performance against Pakistan has been tremendous. You may remember that Kohli was the only player to smash Pakistani bowlers in the World Cup 2022. The former Indian skipper can be team India’s X-factor, as Kohli is unpredictable these days. 

So these are the reasons that make India more dominant against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022. What, according to you, can be added? You can share your views in the comment section.
