For the Asia Cup clash in Dubai on Sunday (September 14), the Indian squad is going to be the favourite by miles when it comes to facing arch-rivals Pakistan. This clash is, strangely, not that much hyped even after the birder tensions that have only grown by a significant amount in the past few months.
The India-Pakistan rivalry has always been a massively hyped clash in cricketing history, with tickets for all the matches being sold out a short while after going out for sale. However, this upcoming clash mark the first instance when a cricket match between the two nations (even scheduled to be held on a Sunday), lacks the hype that has been there till now.
From the Indian side, there are explosive batters like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav along with deadly bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav. The Men in Blue are much more dangerous on paper compared to Pakistan.
Speaking about the Pakistan team, they are working their way to establish themselves under the leadership of new captain Salman Ali Agha. However, considering the nature of the format, there is always a chance that even the strong Indian team might face an unexpected shock
