The second match of the Asia Cup 2022 between India and Pakistan will be played in Dubai. For this, India won the toss and decided to bowl first. India has not included wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant in the playing XI. Dinesh Karthik will do the wicketkeeping. While Naseem Shah will play the debut match for Pakistan.
After winning the toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said, "I don't think the toss is of much importance. We have to play good cricket. We have played here in IPL. So hopefully the pitch will be good. It is difficult to choose between Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant. Avesh Khan has been included in the playing XI.
This match is being held in Dubai. There will also be an effect of dew here. Dew may appear on the ground in the second innings. Due to this, bowlers may find it difficult to make grip. There is no fast and dangerous bowler Jasprit Bumrah in India's team. In his absence, other fast bowlers of the team are expected to perform well.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar can play an important role in the power play for Team India. Bhuvneshwar has taken 12 wickets out of 20 T20 International wickets this year in the power play. So they can prove to be effective for India even against Pakistan.
