Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan Live Updates: Mohammad Rizwan Survives Early LBW Scare, Babar Azam Off In Style
Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan Live Updates: India won the toss and elected to bowl against Pakistan in the second match of the Asia Cup. Mohammad Rizwan survived an early leg-before-wicket appeal after Bhuvneshwar Kumar's nip-backer almost caught him napping. In contrast, Rizwan got off to a nervy start, while Babar Azam got off the mark with a glorious drive.
Rishabh Pant did not find a place in India's playing XI as Dinesh Karthik was given the nod over the youngster. All eyes are on Virat Kohli who returns to action after being rested for India's last two tours - West Indies and Zimbabwe. The former India skipper will make his 100th T20I appearance, becoming the only Indian player to play 100 or more games in all three formats.
Young Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah is all set to make his T20I debut today, informed the Pakistan Cricket Board hours ahead of their match against India today. Hasan Ali has also joined the Pakistan team, after being roped in as a late replacement for the injured Mohammad Wasim Jr, who had suffered a side strain. After a gap of almost one year, India plays a cricket match against Pakistan.
The last time the two teams played against each other was a T20 World Cup encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium that saw the Babar Azam-led side come out on match day, registering a 10-wicket win over their arch-rivals. That was the first time Pakistan beat India in a World Cup encounter. And now, India finally has their chance to avenge the loss. Led by Rohit, Team India meets Pakistan at the same venue on Sunday in the Asia Cup. The highly-awaited encounter is the campaign opener for both teams. (LIVE SCORECARD)
