"Laying Too Deep A Foundation": Sanjay Manjrekar's Criticism Of Pakistan's T20 Approach

Pakistan on Friday beat Hong Kong to seal their berth in the Asia Cup Super-4 stage.

Pakistan will face off against India again on Sunday in the Super-4 stage. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar took to Twitter to make an observation about Pakistan's approach with the bat in the T20 format, saying they 'unnecessarily' have built "too deep a foundation."

India take on Pakistan for the second time in this Asia Cup campaign on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. India had come out on top the last time the two teams met, at the same venue a week earlier, but will have to make some adjustments to their team with Ravindra Jadeja out injured.

"Can't Continue": Former Pacer Slams Indian Top 3's "Lackadaisical Approach" In T20Is

The Indian T20 team's top order has come under criticism recently as they have failed to really fire. The top order batters have either not been able to put on big scores or have scored too sedately, and they have in recent times been helped by the fireworks provided by the middle-order players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Former India pacer Dodda Ganesh took to Twitter to slam the top order for their approach and said it "simply can't continue".

India and Pakistan face off for the second time in eight days at the ongoing Asia Cup in the UAE. Both teams met last Sunday during the Group stage and it was India who won the battle of nerves to edge out Pakistan by five wickets. Pakistan needed a win against Hong Kong in order to reach the Super 4 stage, and the Babar Azam-led side did that in some style. After posting a total of 193 for two, Pakistan bowlers bulldozed past Hong Kong's batting order, and skittled them out for a paltry total of 38. Ahead of the game against India, Pakistan face a selection dilemma, following the injury to Shahnawaz Dahani.
