Asia Cup 2022: Strength and Weaknesses of Pakistan...
There is already a lot of discussion on social media about the match between india and pakistan in the Asia Cup. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the pakistan team is doing better continuously. This time this team is also being considered a strong contender for the title. While the top order is giving excellent performance, there is a lot of sharpness in the pace of the fast bowlers. Let us understand why this team is being considered a contender for the title.
There is power in Pakistan's Top Order
The strength of Pakistan's team is the top order at the moment. Wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam can open. Babar is in tremendous form at the moment and the world has also seen Rizwan's talent. Fakhar Zaman can bat at number three. All three have performed brilliantly for pakistan in T20.
Fakhar Zaman's record against india has been excellent. He has also scored a century against india in the Champions Trophy (2017) final. One thing that also goes in favour of the three batsmen is that they have a long experience of playing in the uae and it is like a home ground for them.
The edge is visible in the bowling
Pakistan's star bowler shaheen Afridi's injury has raised concerns but it is believed that he will make a comeback in the Asia Cup. shaheen Afridi's form and confidence are both at their best. He took 3 wickets against india in the t20 World Cup. In fast bowling, he will get the support of Mohammad Wasim Jr and Haris Rauf.
Middle-order inexperience can become difficult
The weak link of pakistan is the inexperience of the middle order at this time. It can prove to be a weak link for the team in a pressure-filled match. haider ali is at number four, Iftikhar ahmed is at number five and Asif ali can bat at number six. These three players are talented but not much experienced.
