Asia cup 2022: after the thrilling win over India last Sunday Pakistan is looking forward towards their win against Afghanistan this wednesday:

Pakistan's victory over India in Sunday's opening round of the Super Four avenged a loss by their biggest rivals in the group stage, and another victory over Afghanistan after a loss to Sri Lanka sent Babar Azam's men into the final on Sunday. We'll see the rest of the game. After Sri Lanka's victory over India on Tuesday. Pakistan are delighted with Dahani's return to Pacer Shahnawaz after winning his two Twenty20 international games against Afghanistan. Pacer Shahnawaz Dhani missed the match against India after suffering a flank injury in Pakistan's victory over Hong Kong in their last group match.

More importantly, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan (who was key to defeating India with his 71 strokes) is also doing well after suffering knee pain in Sunday's innings. Rizwan underwent a preventive MRI on Monday and was cleared by team management to retain his position as both opener and behind wickets.

"Rizwan and Dhahani are fine at the moment," Babar told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday.

Pakistan head coach Sakrin Mushtak is confident his team can keep a perfect record against Afghanistan with a full squad.

"Afghanistan are a good team and they have shown it many times but we believe we can score a winning hat-trick on Wednesday," Sakrin told PCB's website.

"Conditions in Sharjah are good for spinners, but if the batsman spends enough time in midfield there will be many short boundary runs in the second half of the inning."

Meanwhile, Afghanistan are looking to maintain their early form recovery in the tournament by beating Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the group stage to reach the Super Four. They rely on a spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujib-Ur-Rahman and skipper Mohammad Nabi to sabotage Pakistan's strong batting team in a more realistic Sharjah pitch.

Pakistan needs to beat Sri Lanka in their final match while at the same time needing to keep defending his champions India in the game, so if Afghanistan wins, Super 4 will be wide open. increase. If India wins its final match against Afghanistan, it could be perfect odds if Pakistan loses in his final two games starting Wednesday. He therefore promises to become a cracker in an all-or-nothing battle between both sides in Sharjah.
