India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Live Score Update; Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill Abhishek Sharma | IND vs Pak Playing 11 | Will Team India play the pitch: India lost only 2 matches from Pakistan in 13 years, both in Dubai; Today clash in Asia Cup

Today, India-Pakistan is to be Mahamukabala in the Asia Cup cricket tournament. Both teams have won their first match. The winning team of this match will also be almost firm to qualify for Super-4.

The Indian team has a heavy upper hand in the three departments batting, bowling, fielding. In terms of recent form, Pakistan’s team does not rest anywhere in front of India. So should it be assumed before the match that India will win?

It’s not like that. There is a factor that can bring Pakistan into the match. This factor is a pitch of Dubai. What is such a thing in this pitch and why it can prove to be a game changer, we will learn further. First of all, see what has been the squeeze of India-Pakistan match in T20 format so far.

The last collision between these two teams took place in the T20 World Cup held in the US. The Indian team then won the match by 6 runs despite scoring just 119 runs. After this World Cup, legendary Indian players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja took retirement. Despite this, the performance of the Indian team became even better. The team has won 86% T20 matches since then.

On the other hand, Pakistan dropped players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan from the team in the hope of reforming the protest. Despite this, the team’s level fell continuously. Pakistan has won only 50% match since the last T20 World Cup. You can see in the next graphics how big a difference has been created in the performance of both teams since the World Cup.

When the Indian team so better then how can the game spoil the pitch So far 95 T20 International matches have been played at Dubai Cricket Ground. It has won the first batting team in 46. The Target Chase team has won in 48. 1 match has been tied.

There is no such special thing in this record, from which the Indian team should come under tension. However, the view of Dubai and a fine analysis of Dubai changes the view.

In nearly five years since 2020, the team that has been in the T20 match between Test playing countries has been in great benefit. There have been 18 such matches in this time period in which both teams have been Test playing countries. In these 18 matches, the 16 target chase team has won. The first batting team has won in just 2 matches.

That is, if India has to bat first in today’s match, Pakistan can come in the match. This has also happened twice in recent years. The first time in the 2021 T20 World Cup and the second time in the 2022 T20 Asia Cup. In the last 13 years, these two T20 matches have been such, in which Pakistan’s team has defeated India. See the brief score card of both matches.

Pitch report The average score of the first innings in Dubai is only 145 runs. Given the dew in the second innings, this target is easily chased. The average score of winning teams while batting first is 162 runs. However, in the last 10 years this score rose to 165. That is, if you want to win by batting first, then you will have to score more than 165 runs.

33 T20 International matches were played in Dubai in the last 5 years. In these, the teams who chased 21 times won, while just 12 times the teams who were batting could get success. Most of the matches in the 2021 T20 World Cup were played in Dubai, here too the chase teams got more success. In such a situation, the team winning the toss will prefer to bowl first.
