Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 predictions: Pakistan Vs Afghanistan – Who will win the match?

Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 round is at a very interesting stage now with a couple of teams in must-win situations

Pakistan made a great start to their super 4 campaign in the Asia Cup 2022 yesterday, as they beat their arch-rivals India and got two points on the board. As they lock horns against another neighboring country Afghanistan on Wednesday, Pakistan will have the opportunity to inch closer to the final of the Asia Cup.

As far as Afghanistan are concerned, they were looking like a very strong unit in the group round of Asia Cup 2022 where they absolutely cruised past Sri Lanka and Bangladesh without breaking a sweat, but sloppy bowling in their first super 4 games against Sri Lanka has now put them in a do-or-die situation.

If Pakistan loses on Wednesday, they will still remain in the tournament as they have already got one super 4 victories to their name, but Afghanistan’s defeat might eliminate them from the ongoing Asia Cup.

Pitch report for Pakistan Vs Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022 super 4

The Dubai pitch for second India Vs Pakistan game was not as spicy as the first one. It was less grassy and the bounce was not that steep either. It was an easy-paced track and since it got even better in the latter stages of the game because of slight dew, the game turned out a high scoring one.

The Pakistan Vs Afghanistan match might be high scoring as well, as both teams have got some big hitters in their ranks and the Dubai surface, as compared to Sharjah, is more conducive to stroke play.

I write a bit on cricket and I am more interested in technical and tactical side of the game, rather than bravado.
