India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2022 Live Cricket Score Updates: India face 'resurgent' Pakistan in Super 4s

The slowness of the Dubai track does create a few problems for the batters.

The Pakistan team, on its part, would also like to score more in the first 10 overs. Mohammed Rizwan and Babar Azam have had all the success while chasing but batting first hasn't exactly been the strong suit for the pair.

To be fair to Rahul, he deserves a go at the top-order one more time as he was dismissed by Naseem Shah in the very first ball he faced in Sunday's game. But the think tank needs to spell it out clearly to Rahul that he needs to change his outlook of looking at the quantum of runs, rather than the quality and impact it creates.

A pertinent question that arises is will India change their top-order and add some firepower since it is now clear that the combination of Rahul, Rohit and Kohli isn't working well for the team.

India vs Pakistan Round Two

It was Suryakumar Yadav's sheer brilliance that saved India from what was turning out to be an embarrassing batting display against minnows Hong Kong, with an out-of-sync KL Rahul playing his slowest ever (36 off 39 balls) innings.

However, the Indian team, despite being a minefield of talent, does have a soft underbelly, and the top-order's cautious approach in powerplay overs is one of them. Neither Virat Kohli nor Rohit looked comfortable against the Pakistani attack and as the pitch got slower, their problems seemed to have compounded.

Rishabh Pant at No. 4 tonight?

With Ravindra Jadeja not available in this game, Axar Patel looks like a straightforward replacement, but the team combination does take a hit in the absence of the Saurashtra all-rounder.

If the top-order's powerplay philosophy is a problem, the inexperience of Avesh Khan at the death was no less a worry and the team management may need to revamp the bowling attack against a strong Pakistan side, which is coming into the game after demolishing Hong Kong by more than 150 runs.

The famed top-order would be desperate for a course correction while the bowling attack could be rejigged as India aim for an encore against Pakistan in an Asia Cup Super 4s clash.
