Asia Cup 2022: India vs Afghanistan - Best Fantasy team, possible playing 11s, Head to Head, pitch & weather conditions and more

Afghanistan have both been knocked out of the Asia Cup. The two teams though still have one match left to play against each other. It is a dead rubber but the fans will be hoping to see some exciting cricket on the field. The two teams might be separated by as many as 9 ranking places in the ICC T20I team rankings (India at No.1 and Afghanistan at No. 10), but the Afghans have shown in this edition of the Asia Cup that they have evolved as a very potent T20I team. If you are a fantasy cricket player you would be wondering who to pick in your team for tonight's match. Here are suggestions for a fantasy 11, along with possible playing 11s for tonight's match in Dubai, weather conditions, Head to Head and more:Fantasy playing XI: Possible combination -Top order batters: Rohit Sharma (c), Ibrahim Zadran, Virat Kohli Middle order batters: Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik Wicket-keeper: Rahmanullah Gurbaz All-rounders: Hardik Pandya & Mohammad Nabi Pacers: Fazalhaq Farooqui, Fareed Ahmad Spinners: Rashid Khan (vc)

Asia Cup 2022: India vs SL - Best Fantasy team, possible playing 11s, Head to Head, pitch & weather details and more

The two teams will be up against each other for the first time in the ongoing edition of the Asia Cup. While India and Pakistan made it to the Super 4s from Group A, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan advanced from Group B. Though India marched into this stage of the tournament with two wins in two matches in the league stage, they now find themselves in a tricky position after the 5 wicket loss in a thriller of a match vs Pakistan last Sunday. India need to win tonight's match to get their first points and to stay in the running for the final on September 11. If they lose tonight it could mean curtains for Rohit Sharma and co. in the 2022 Asia Cup.

Asia Cup. Pakistan have also been hit by multiple injuries, while India suffered a blow when all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury earlier. Axar Patel has replaced Jadeja in the Indian squad and is expected to play tonight vs Pakistan. While India have more experience and the more well balanced squad the Pakistan pacers, though not very experienced, are more than capable of troubling the best of batters. The Men in Green though suffered another injury blow ahead of their Super 4 clash vs India with young pacer Shahnawaz Dahani being ruled out of this match with a side strain. Either Hasan Ali or Mohammad Hasnanin are likely to replace Dahani in the Pakistan playing XI. Hasan Ali is the more experienced pacer, but Hasnain is quicker.
