India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in their first Asia Cup match on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. This will be the first time the two sides meet since Pakistan romped to a 10-wicket win over India at the same venue at the 2021 T20 World Cup. India vice-captain KL Rahul, speaking at a press conference on Friday, said that the defeat to Pakistan last year had hurt the team and admitted that India were "outplayed" in the match.
Hong Kong qualified for Asia Cup 2022 with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates earlier this week. Hong Kong will join seven-time champions India and Pakistan in Group A. They will face India on August 31 and Pakistan on September 2. After the match, the Hong Kong players could be seen dancing to the hit song 'Kala Chashma' from the movie 'Baar Baar Dekho'. Wicketkeeper-batter Zeeshan Ali shared the video, which has gone viral on social media.
David Gilbert finished with a classy break of 125 to overcome Scottish amateur Ross Muir 4-3 on Friday in securing his place at the Northern Ireland Open.

India's preparations for the Asia Cup, which begins on Saturday, are on in full swing, and quite literally so. On Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India shared a video of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja batting in the nets and the two southpaws were seen playing some big shots. Both Pant and Jadeja were seen swinging hard at the ball, targeting both the on and off sides as they geared up for their opening fixture against Pakistan on Sunday.
DUBAI: E-Vision, the entertainment streaming division of e& life (part of e&), Thursday said it had acquired exclusive broadcast and media rights for the upcoming DP World Asia Cup to be shown only on the CricLife MAX channel in the MENA region.
Asia Cup, beginning Saturday, the most closely fought edition ever. Pakistan legend Wasim Akram has already predicted the six-team tournament as having the potential to showcase quality that has never been seen before. Leaving aside the lone qualifier Hong Kong, the five other teams including record seven-time champions India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh can beat each other on their day. The tournament, which is being staged in the T20 format after six years, had to be moved to the UAE after hosts Sri Lanka expressed their inability to organise it back home amid the economic crisis faced by the island nation.
The Asia Cup 2022 kicks off on August 27 with a match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. On the other hand, defending champions India will kick-start their campaign with a match against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28. It is worth noting that the continental event was earlier set to take place in Sri Lanka but the economic crisis in the country saw the tournament being shifted to United Arab Emirates. The gulf nation will be hosting the event across two venues - Dubai International Cricket Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
