When India and Pakistan work on their clash Super 4S in Asia 215, all eyes will again be in a competition that defines this rivalry-Pakistan pace Shaheen Afridi against Indian more Captain Shaubman Gill.
India comfortably beat Pakistan with seven goals at their earlier Asia Cup session, a match shaded by a controversy around Handshake after Handshake. This episode has only increased expectations on Sunday for their clash Super 4.
Former captain of Pakistan Wasim Akram believes that Afridi has to develop their approach, especially against Gill, and rely too much on their trademarks of Yorkers. In an interview for broadcasting the legendary left arm, he explained that dough around the world began to predict Afridi’s strategy, which is essential for him to develop a plan to B.
“That’s what I want Shaheen Afridi to do soon, because the whole world now knows the plan against him. So Afridi must have a B plan. This is the length that should be bowling,” Akram said.
“I’m fine with one -off yorkers, but not two or three consecutive, because if he is missing one, it goes on the border with only two fields outside the circle. Finally, pressure is on pressure.
Rivalry in rivalry
The Gill-Afridi duel has already given several big moments in ODI, while Pakistan quickly released the opener with a new ball twice and took advantage of the natural angle of the left shoulder across the right-hander. Afridi, which has 275 international goals for its name, has built a reputation for removing the highest order of India in pressure games – the most memorable when the 2021 T20 World Cup removed Rohit Sharma and Virt Kohli.
While Gill will only play his second T20i against Pakistan in this conflict of Super 4, the expectations of Vice Captain Idnia will be higher on Sunday’s conflict.
For Pakistan, Afridi’s bowling remains the key to stopping the Indian stellar branding unit. In this Asia Cup, the left armed chose three goals in three matches and at the same time contributed a valuable 64 run with a bat. His main task on Sunday, however, will be with a new ball in his hand.
Meanwhile, Gill tried to have an impact on this tournament. When he returned to the T20i settings, the right -hander scored only 31 runs in three matches, including a low score of 10 against Pakistani Saim Ayub.
