Asia Cup 2022: Pakistan trampled Hong Kong, now to face India in Super-4 on Sunday
Babar Azam-led Pakistan trampled Hong Kong by 155 runs in their last Group A match in the Asia Cup 2022 to qualify for Super 4 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Friday night (September 2). After playing each other in the group stage, arch-rivals India and Pakistan face each other once again in Super 4. The second India-Pakistan meeting will be held on 4 September at the Dubai International Stadium.
Mohammad Rizwan is confident that his team will do well in the upcoming big match against India. Rizwan said that India and Pakistan is a match that has always been awaited and the Pakistan team cannot wait to play India again. Revenge will be on mind of Pakistan after they lost a close game in their opening contest of the tournament on August 28. “The match between India and Pakistan seems like a final match for everyone. I think we need to keep this match as normal as possible. Pakistan’s confidence is high, ready for any opponent,” Rizwan said.
