As we all know from yesterday’s match, team India has got crushing defeat from Pakistan by 5 wickets and lost the first match of the super four of the Asia cup 2022. Pakistan won this match. if we talk about this match then team India lost the toss and Pakistan decided to bowl first. Pakistan decided to bowl, proved to be absolutely right decision. India scored a lot of runs while batting first India's opening partnership was good after that Virat Kohli appeared brilliant and in good touch. Despite that, India scored a very good 181 runs and gave Pakistan 182 runs to chase.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam was dismissed after scoring 14 runs in 10 balls, Ravi Bishnoi took him out. after that Mohammad Rizwan had brilliant batting, he made 71 runs off 51 balls. Mohammad Nawaz played an innings of 42 runs in 20 balls, which was really commendable and became a match-winning innings for Pakistan
Arshdeep dropped an easy catch and because of this India went back in the match, and was the biggest turning point of the match. And now Pakistan is believed to be certain to go into the Asia cup final match. but before that, you can once again see the match between India and Pakistan. but the question arises what will India have to do for this to happen? it will have to depend on the other teams.
India can be out of the final even after it does win both the coming matches and what is the last equation left for India. but before moving forward if you are a supporter of India, then definitely show your support by commenting and following my blog.
So, the
biggest and the most crucial point of the match and one of the main reasons for
India’s loss was there was no third fast bowler. Besides Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh,
the third fast bowler was Hardik Pandya, who turned out to be very expensive. Who
gave 44 runs. So overall India did not
have many options for fast bowling. Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal were fourth
and fifth bowlers who bowled remaining overs. And bowling was also given to Deepak
Hooda. also, Arshdeep dropped a simple catch. These were the few main reasons
which cost team India this match.
Now let’s talk about the point table standings.
Sri Lanka has defeated Afghanistan and with a high net run rate, they claimed
the no.1 position in the points table., the second is the Pakistan cricket
team, which currently has defeated India on the 4th September’s match
yesterday. and somewhere now its matches are going to be with Sri Lanka and
Afghanistan. and if Pakistan wins those matches, then it will make it to the
finals. but if Pakistan loses any one match against other teams, then here is how
team India can have its chances.
What will become more interesting is what
equations are made for team India Let us discuss that. team India is in the third
spot in the points table and has lost one match in the super four against Pakistan.
the net run rate is also in the minus. Afghanistan is in the fourth position; they
have also lost 1 out of 1 match. and the net run rate is worse than India that’s
why they are on the fourth position.
but let's talk here about the chances of team India, if it wins both the coming matches and also beats Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, then it can make a place in the final, considering Pakistan loses one match in upcoming days either against Sri Lanka or Afghanistan. One more possibility that remains for team India is if it wins both upcoming matches against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka with great margins. But if team Sri Lanka wins all remaining matches, then it goes into the finals. And another finalist will be either team India or team Pakistan.
What India
has to do at present, India has to beat Sri Lanka and Afghanistan and will have
to beat with a good margin to have a good net run rate. Pakistan also can go to
the final. Pakistan will have a chance of going to the final, If Pakistan should
win all three remaining matches, then it will be directly in the final. But winning
all matches is not enough if you’re tied with other teams. the net run rate
will be the deciding factor. If any team loses 2 matches, then they will be out
for sure. And will change the points table as well.
Team India’s
upcoming matches are with Sri Lanka on 6th Sept. and with Afghanistan
on 8th Sept.
Sri Lanka’s
upcoming matches are with India and Pakistan on 6th and 9th
Sept. respectively.
Afghanistan’s
upcoming matches are with Pakistan and India on the 7th and 8th
Sept. respectively.
