Why the upcoming clash between India vs Pakistan is special in T20 World Cup 2022?

Pakistan Cricket is playing the traditional style of Cricket but there has been change in the regime as Sarfaraz Ahmed successfully guided Men in Green towards the Champions Trophy 2017 but due to a drop in his batting form, he was replaced by Babar Azam.

Azam has been consistent when it comes to his batting form after taking charge of captaincy it seems that there is no pressure on him. The Right Handed batter is touted as the next big thing in world cricket.

He is often compared with Batting stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli & many more.

On the other hand, Men in Blue will be playing T20 world cup for the first time under the leadership of Ro”Hitman” Sharma and with Virat Kohli regaining his form in recently concluded Asia Cup with his smashing Hundred it will boost India’s confidence when they will face arch-rivals Pakistan on 23rd October 2022.

Here in this article, we will analyze the upcoming match between arch rivals India-Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in detail:

India: Men in Blue will be playing this marquee event in absence of their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami has been inducted in the side at the last moment after recovering from COVID-19. It would be interesting to see how he will perform in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Overall India’s bowling lineup looks weak in comparison to Pakistan’s Bowlers as the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Harshal Patel is going through rough form.

The current batting lineup including the likes of SuryaKumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul looks solid on paper but if India can manage their bowling line up pretty than it will turn out an interesting contest.

Pakistan: Men in Green is looking a new side under the leadership of Babar Azam and we can’t write off Pakistan as side in T20 format as they are unpredictable teams in the world. Their biggest problem is middle order batting as they lack experience in that department in comparison to Men in Blue.

Pakistan cricket team must have felt good after the return of Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Shah Afridi but the question arises that whether these two players are match fit or not.

Overall, It will be a great contest between these two sides as this is a pressure game and the one who handles pressure well on the night of the final emerge as the winner of this nail-biting contest.

Both teams have strengths and also weaknesses but it will be a contest to watch out for there is no point denying that.
