Pakistan and India are almost in the same level in terms of gameplay. The performance variation at times makes one better over the other. With the Asian Cup, only the India vs Pakistan match will be discussed big. This is all because of the importance and a kind of market making for cricket. Even if the player watches it as a game, the media will give it big hype for money making.

I have a feeling that Pakistan has the upper hand this time. They won the last T20I encounter between these two sides. And on top of that, Virat Kohli is out of form while Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are in terrific shape. But one disadvantage for Pakistan is that their strike bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi won't be available for the tournament. That may not be an issue if other bowlers step up their attack. As seen from yesterday's game, second-string Pakistani pacers (Naseem, Wasim and Shahnawaz) looks as if they are in terrific form.

Meanwhile, the Pakistanis are starting to think that Shaheen Afridi's absence will give the Indian top batsmen less pressure. The reality is the same. Since Virat Kohli is not in form, either he will roar in this match or he will be banned from World Cup cricket. Indian bowlers and batsmen are in form. India lost the last match played between the two teams. So this time India will try hard to win the match.

I am still going to say Pakistan is going to have the upper hand. But on paper honestly, neither team looks better than the other. With that injury situation in Pakistan, especially the main fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is not going to be available. That is a big hit for Pakistan. And on the other hand, Virat Kohli is not in form also I think the situation of the Indian team is not the best at this moment.

Pakistan did not get Shaheen Afridi in the Asia Cup, they still have full confidence to beat India. Pakistan players don't have much publicity like India but their performance on the field is remarkable. Pakistan's current squad is not weak. If Shaheen Afridi could have been in the squad then it would have been the best for this time. But still many expect Pakistan will win that match.

The Pakistani team is not at all scared because of the absence of Shaheensha Afridi in the Pakistan team in the Asia Cup .They have selected some players as alternative bowlers for Shaheen Afridi. But sadly, Shaheensha Afridi was used as a trump card for India.

It has to be said that this is good news for India. The mental pressure will be reduced among their players. Opposite, Pakistan's pressure will increase. Pakistan can take a bit of courage as Virat Kohli is out of form. All in all a good cricket match is going to happen next August 28,2022.
