India and Pakistan will square off against each other for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup as both teams battle it out in the Super 4s stage at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. India had gotten the better of Pakistan when these two teams met earlier in the group stage. It was Hardik Pandya in that game who displayed an all-round game to take Rohit Sharma's side over the line by five wickets.
While captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been established as Pakistan's openers in T20Is, a case has been made that Fakhar Zaman should be pushed up to open, especially as he can prove more aggression at the top. Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez, however, feels that Pakistan should persist with Babar and Rizwan at the top, given their success, at least until the 2022 T20 World Cup, which begins in October. But Hafeez did point out one thing on which the two can improve upon.
Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter and former captain, Mushfiqur Rahim on Sunday announced his retirement from T20I internationals. Rahim had played both matches for Bangladesh in the ongoing Asia Cup, but the Shakib-Al-Hasan led side failed to progress to the Super 4s stage after suffering defeats against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. Rahim announced his retirement on Twitter, saying he will focus on ODIs and Tests from now on.
Australia captain James Slipper wants his Wallabies team mates to remember the pain inflicted on them by South Africa on Saturday as the world champions claimed a 24-8 Rugby Championship win over their hosts in Sydney.
Gillingham captain Stuart O’Keefe is well aware of the club’s rivalry with Swindon Town and hopes the big match atmosphere will give them a boost.
There has been a lot of talk regarding Virat Kohli's form this year, but so far, the right-handed batter has come up with good performances in the ongoing Asia Cup. He first scored 35 runs against Pakistan and then he backed it up with an unbeaten 59-run knock against Hong Kong. However, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has criticised Kohli, saying he is not a "great" T20 player, and he can never become Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav.
A funeral will be held on Tuesday for Eli Palfreyman, the Ayr Centennials captain who died this week during a pre-season junior hockey tournament in the southern Ontario community.
The Asia Cup 2022 will see a crunch clash on Thursday as Pakistan take on Hong Kong in a Group A tie. The winner of the contest will progress to the Super 4 and will face India on Sunday. Both teams had lost their opening matches to India and will be looking to return to winning ways. Ahead of the crucial game, Pakistan captain Babar Azam met with Hong Kong skipper Nizakat Khan on the sidelines of a practice session. Nizakat congratulated Babar on his good form and asked for tips regarding batting. To which Babar replied: "Kya Tip Chahiye?" Then they went to discuss about batting, nature of bat and other stuff which made for an interesting conversation.
