Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will battle it out once again when both teams step out to the park to take on each other in the Super-4 stage of the ongoing Asia Cup on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Having beaten Pakistan earlier in the group stage, Rohit Sharma and co. will have momentum on their side and they will look to march ahead with it. Ahead of the game, head coach Rahul Dravid said that pacer Avesh Khan is feeling a bit "under the weather", but hopefully it is "nothing too serious".
Team India head coach Rahul Dravid said he does not want to "jump to any conclusions" on Ravindra Jadeja missing the 2022 T20 World Cup shortly after it was reported that the star all-rounder was to undergo a knee surgery that would rule him out of the marquee tournament. Jadeja on Friday was ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing Asia Cup in the UAE with a knee injury. On Saturday, news agency PTI quoted a source in the BCCI as saying that Jadeja is set to undergo knee surgery, which would keep him on the sidelines for an "indefinite" period.
Asia Cup on Sunday, Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan said his team-mates had joked with each other that it's a "best of three-match series" between the two sides in the ongoing continental tournament. India and Pakistan can still face in the summit clash here on September 11 whatever the outcome of the match on Sunday and that will make the arch-rivals face each other three times -- all of them on Sundays. India had beaten Pakistan by five wickets last Sunday. "Fans from both countries anticipate a third meeting in next week's final. We have jokingly said among ourselves that it's a best of three-match series (between India and Pakistan)," Rizwan said in Sharjah after Pakistan's mammoth 155-run win over Hong Kong.
Asia Cup against India on Sunday because of a suspected side strain. Dahani is the third Pakistan paceman sidelined with injury after ace fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi missed the Asia Cup because of a knee problem and Mohammad Wasim Junior because of a side strain.
Stimac's existing contract ends in September. After guiding the national team to the 2023 Asia Cup with a dominant show in the qualifiers in June, Stimac had expressed his desire for the AIFF to take a call on his contract quickly. At that time, the AIFF was being run by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).
Senior India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is all set to miss the T20 World Cup in Australia as he will undergo a major knee surgery which is expected to keep him out of action for an indefinite period of time. Jadeja, who played the first two games of the Asia Cup against Pakistan and Hong Kong, gives the team the requisite balance with his all-round abilities and the 33-year-old veteran's absence will be a big blow to Rohit Sharma's side.
India and Pakistan will square off once again in the Asia Cup on Sunday and this time around it would be in the Super-4 stage. When these two teams faced off in the group stages, India emerged triumphant by five wickets. In that match, Virat Kohli scored 35 runs off 34 balls and after the game, he also gave a signed jersey to Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf. Ahead of the Super-4 match against India, Haris talked about how big a player Kohli really is, and how good it was to receive the jersey from the former Indian skipper.
