Besides eyeing a much improved show with the bat, Sri Lanka have resorted to playing mind games ahead of their crucial tie against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup in Sharjah on Tuesday. Sri Lankan batters were blown away by Afghanistan pacers in the opening game and will be looking to get their act together after a heavy loss. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be playing their tournament opener. The Shakib Al Hasan-led side will be aiming to improve their recent record in the shortest format, having won just two games out of 13 since the World Cup last year.
Asia Cup in Dubai. "The reaction to losing to India has not been the usual criticism because in the build up to the match the camaraderie shown by players of both teams towards each other was brilliant while our team also fought hard till the final over," Pakistan's former captain Moin Khan said.
Severe criticism of Pakistani cricketers is expected after a loss to India but the experts were rather kind to the players after Sunday's narrow defeat against the arch-rivals in the Asia Cup in Dubai. "The reaction to losing to India has not been the usual criticism because in the build up to the match the camaraderie shown by players of both teams towards each other was brilliant while our team also fought hard till the final over,” Pakistan's former captain Moin Khan said.
Former India cricketer Hemang Badani suffered an injury during an Asia Cup pre-match show on Saturday. In the opening match of the ongoing Asia Cup, Sri Lanka took on Afghanistan, and Badani, who was on air with Krishnamachari Srikkanth on Star Sports' Tamil feed, was hit with the bat by the former India opener while he was explaining a shot. Badani was visibly in pain and was seen rubbing his elbow. While Badani tried to work through pain, he eventually walked off the studio holding his elbow.
Team India scripted a thrilling win over arch-rivals in their Asia Cup clash on Sunday at Dubai International Stadium. It was Hardik Pandya's all-round performance which took Team India to victory in the nail-biting thriller. The all-rounder first helped India to bundle out Pakistan at 147 by scalping three wickets and later smashed 33 runs off 17 balls, including the winning six, to give his side a five-wicket win. Appreciating his performance, former India head coach Ravi Shastri took to Twitter and called him the "best T20 all-rounder."
The first delivery was negotiated by India captain Rohit Sharma easily with a single on the leg side. Then KL Rahul came on strike. Naseem ran in, fast and furious, with the raw energy of a teenager looking to bowl fast. Rahul, making a comeback after an injury, counted on his experience to negate the threat but erred in reading the line of the delivery. Naseem hurled a 142kph snorter, Rahul just dangled his bat, at an angle, neither vertical, nor horizontal. The ball took the edge and crashed into the stumps. Rahul hung his head and walked back, a first ball duck, Naseem took off, chased by his teammates, finally caught by wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan and then embraced by all his teammates and congratulated for his maiden T20I wicket.
