Analysis:
The Indian team has looked incredible in the Asia Cup this year as they won both their games in the group stage. The team’s openers have been struggling to score runs, while their bowling lineup with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh has been in good form.
However, their biggest asset still remains Hardik Pandya, who has been contributing across all departments.
For Pakistan, the team has finally clicked after being hit with some major injuries at the start of the tournament. Their backup fast bowlers like Naseem Shah and Harris Rauf have been in a great rhythm and have come good. Similarly, their batting is solid with wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan leading the charge. All-rounders Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz and Iftikhar Ahmed have also put up decent performances.
