The big day is here!! One of the most anticipated clashes in the history of Indian cricket is back as arch-rivals India squares off against Pakistan on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium Dubai.
What to expect: The impact of dew that messes with teams that have to bowl second. India however have trained for such an eventuality by choosing to bat first whenever possible since they last played there. In 16 T20Is after the 2021 World Cup India have won 12 and lost just 3 in 16 games where they’ve batted first.
Head to head: In Asia Cups India have a superior 8-5 win-loss record against Pakistan. Since 2010 India have won five of the six Asia Cup meetings between the two sides.
India
Tactics & match-ups: 12 of Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 20 T20I wickets this year have come in the PowerPlay. It’s an ability India will hope to use against a side with such a glaring gulf in quality between the top-3 and the middle-order – an average of 42.35 and 15.59 respectively since January 2021. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have scored 1000-plus T20I runs since January 2021 and breaching that opening stand should be on top of India’s bowling agendas.
Pakistan
Tactics & match-ups: In the absence of Shaheen Babar needs to be smart with his fields in the face of a gung-ho Indian batting side. The big dimensions of the Dubai stadium should be put to use smartly particularly in the PowerPlay overs where India have hit 71 sixes in 37 innings since January 2021. To put the amount of risk-taking in perspective Pakistan have hit just 30 of them (in 10 innings fewer) in this period. Based on where Rishabh Pant bats timing the introduction of leggies Shadab and Usman Qadir will also be key.
