India play Pakistan in the Super 4 of the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday, September 4, 2022, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai from 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
The Indian cricket team beat Pakistan and Hong Kong in the group stage of the tournament to advance into the Super 4. While Hardik Pandya’s all-round heroics did the trick against the Men in Green, Suryakumar Yadav’s blitzkrieg with the bat helped India comfortably win in the second match. India have won 18 of the 23 T20Is played in 2022 and are on a five-match winning streak in this format. Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the remainder of the Asia Cup 2022 with an injury and he will be replaced in the squad by Axar Patel.
The Pakistan cricket team were dominant in all three departments against Hong Kong in their previous match, dismissing the Men in Red for a tournament-record 38 runs and winning by 155 runs. Pakistan finished as semi-finalists in last year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held in UAE. The Men in Green had a poor Asia Cup 2016 campaign, finishing third behind the champions India and runners-up Bangladesh.
