Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan: India focus on top-order approach and death-over bowling

Pakistan in an Asia Cup 'Super 4s' clash. If top-order's Powerplay philosophy is a problem, the inexperience of Avesh Khan at the death is no less a worry as the team management may need to revamp the bowling attack against a strong Pakistan side that is coming into the game after demolishing Hong Kong by more than 150 runs.

Asia Cup 2022: Naseem Shah, life in fast forward

From bowling barefoot to playing for Pakistan within five years of starting proper training to overcoming career-threatening injuries, the 19-year-old pace sensation's rapid evolution has put him in the spotlight in this Asia CupDUBAI: Two days after he limped off the field with cramps against India, Pakistan's pace sensation Naseem Shah was back in the nets delivering thunderbolts. All of 19, the spotlight has been chasing him here at the Asia Cup. In the days leading up to the first India-Pakistan game last Sunday, all the talk revolved around the absence of Shaheen Shah Afridi. In a matter of four overs, at the same venue where Afridi had dismantled India last October, Naseem staked his claim as the most lethal pacer in this tournament. Pakistan captain Babar Azam, in fact, went on to state after the match, "The way Naseem started, we didn't feel that we were missing Shaheen."

The frequent rotation of players in the past six months may seem jarring to a lot of people but most of it was pre-planned. "The captain and coach had sat down with the strength and conditioning coach and the physios in February. They had marked the entire year's schedule. Rohit and Dravid had given them a pool of players. The support staff was told to ensure those players are available and in the best shape for theT20 World Cup. Thus, each series was marked for the players to play in," a source told TOI. While all the attention was on India's probable top 15 players, the team management was actually working towards like-for-like options for every player.
