There is no clear favorite in the upcoming Asia Cup which makes it more exciting.

I think this time Asia Cup might turn into a blockbuster contest.

Pakistan is in top form despite a couple of fuckups. India looking good after Bumrah's comeback and mix up with new guys in the squad. Bangladesh defeated India in the last ODI series so they are alright too. Sri Lanka also not looking that bad, The only drawback would be an absence of inform Hasaranga as he got injured i suppose. Weaker link would be Afghanistan but they can beat anyone on their day and we can expect some sort of fightback from them, not counting Nepal atm.

Maybe you are right in your statics, but I have completely different view about this because recently we have no improvement in few teams from Asia like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and now Afghanistan even they are going down in quality with batting with recent series against Pakistan give us all story of Afghani batting how unpredictable and poor they are in shots selections with they need to work on field as well because this is also big disappointment for them, I watch they drop many dolly catches as well.

Bangladesh is also having crises, and they will be also not good as we need them after long time and just read about Sri Lanka they are also facing some issues while their few players are out with injuries and other problems then again we have left only two teams India and Pakistan which can do good, but upset is possible as we have last time in the UAE as it is beauty of this game while we are having this in Asia.

Pakistan has climbed to the top position in the men's team in the ICC ODI rankings. This achievement by Pakistan before the ICC World Cup will really give a new impetus to the Pakistan team. Pakistan team is the most favorite for the Asia Cup. If the success of the Pakistan team continues then Pakistan will be the champion in the Asia Cup....

This is one of the best achievements for Pakistan before the start of Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. Pakistan is going to participate in the Asia Cup and the World Cup from the top of the ODI ranking. Pakistan performed better than expected in the latest series against Afghanistan. A few days ago Pakistan was only dependent on their opening pair but Pakistan has come out of that place now everyone from opening position to lower order position of the team is responsible batting and also Pakistan has a great fast bowling unit which is able to make any team's batsmen uncomfortable, such a team. Maybe Pakistan wanted what they already got. With such a team it is possible to do well in both Asia Cup and World Cup tournaments.

Of course, such a win before the start of the Asia Cup has won great praise for the Pakistan team. In this edition of Asia Cup, they are a potential team who have the possibility to control the trophy. Although nothing can be said certainly, either India or Pakistan we will get the final trophy in this season but It is difficult to predict that the situation on the ground may be different. Saud Shakeel has been added to Pakistan's squad for the Asia Cup. The selectors considered him better although many were not satisfied with his batting performance. This Asia Cup has been the subject of much debate and criticism, but that is all about to end soon.

Pakistan bowled brilliantly and managed to take wickets brilliantly, which put Afghanistan under a lot of pressure. Finally, we saw that Pakistan completed the victory by 59 runs, and Pakistan won the series by three matches.

According to Pakistani wicketKeeper batter Muhammad Rizwan that we have step into the ground with a different mindset but after few over we realise that pitch is like ok to score around 230, so we excute our plan but later some good power hitting of Nawaz and Salman change the entire situation due which afghan batter come under pressure and lose his important wickets too quickly, but just like Rizwan say it's pitch of 230 so according to that Afghanistan were on the way to chasedown 230 easily if salman and Nawaz failed to scored some significant runs in last overs. But anyway Pakistan done a good job by white washing the series against a tough opponent to prepare our self Asia Cup.

Pakistan team has shown excellent dominance in the series against Afghanistan. They have won all three in the three match series. Although the target was not big in the first match, they won by a huge margin. The second match was very competitive. But in the last match we saw the dominance of Pakistan again. Pakistan's batsmen are capable of performing well on bowling friendly pitches. The team has several experienced and talented batsmen. A few days ago, the team depended on the performance of Babar and Rizwan. But now why Pakistan team is not dependent on the performance of certain batsmen. I think Pakistan has the best chance of winning the title in the next Asia Cup. . The Indian team's performance is now very erratic.

First match Afghanistan were all out for 59 runs chasing a moderate total, second one was close but Pakistan chased down the total and the final one was surprised that they reached 200 runs because they were 7 down for 97 runs, Afghanistan needs to find someone who is consistent in their top order.

About Pakistan vs Afghanistan this was fascinating series as I am feeling Afghanistan could be much better team if they are able to play with some mind instead of heart which is never been ideal specially while they are playing against Pakistan they have done few things which are not acceptable as sportsperson, so I am feeling bad for them because mostly they lost narrow matches against Pakistan even having strong winning case which is their own fault.

As long as India is not experimenting the entire squad with new faces, India will be the clear favorite. Cannot count out Pakistan as they produce some classics once in a while.

I have feeling selectors are doing right job as we have good time for doing some experiments which are important for the future even right now results are not as expected but after few international games these guys could be at the top of the game and also able to done good performance against all opponents West Indian series was not good but still we have few good performances from new players.

Lol. You are clearly a hardcore Pakistan fan. They did win all matches, but they struggled quite a bit in some of them. Afghanistan actually looked like they could win at certain points in some matches.

No doubt thats a big achievement but problem with Pakistan team is consistency. Even in there series against Afghanistan, they were almost knocked out in 2nd ODI. Although Pakistan is ranked number one ODI side still they are unpredictable for Asia and World Cup. Pakistan need to work hard to bring consistency in there performance like Australia and England.

Congratulations to Pakistan. Pakistan became the no.1 ODI team, and now Pakistan is ready for ICC ODI Men's World Cup. but other teams are also ready, Australia's rank is 2nd, and India's rank is 3rd in the ODI. It is impossible to say that this country is the winner Because every team is very good.

In the three-match ODI series, the Babar Azam-led team defeated Afghanistan 3-0 and defeated Australia to take the top spot in the most recent ODI team rankings. Pakistan with 2725 points and a 118 Rating while Australia has 2714 points with the same Rating of 118 Pakistan is the No. 1 Rank ODI team in the world while Afghanistan has the No. 9 position in the ICC ODI Ranking with 1605 Points. Pakistan's No 1 ODI Team is great achievements before the Asia cup and World Cup. Pakistan is the favourite team for winning the Asia Cup starting from 30 August in Pakistan.

Congratulations to Pakistan No.1 team in ODIs under No 1 ranked ODI batsman Babar Azam Captain of Pakistan Cricket Team. We became number one in ODI cricket again under Babar's captaincy. Thank you KING Babar Azam for taking Pakistan Cricket to the Next level. I think The way Babar has shown his leadership and united this team together and the way the team has responded to him in gathering under one flag under his leadership is something never seen before in Pakistan cricket. This is the best team to win Asia Cup and Champions of World Cup 2023

Not expecting them to improve drastically as far as their batting lineup is concerned. For some reason, they are only producing world class spinners and it also hampers their chances as they heavily rely on spin only.

You need a fair amount of batters and a couple of good fast bowlers in the mix for a better combination, if not then they will remain the same underdog team and in a decade or so become like Bangladesh.

Pakistan whitewashed Afghanistan in the ODI series by winning the third match by 59 runs. Riding high on confidence after winning the first two ODIs against Afghanistan, Pakistan needed a good start to win the third match, which they did well. The Asia Cup tournament starts from two days, just before the Asia Cup tournament, such a performance against Afghanistan will undoubtedly help Pakistan to prepare well for the Asia Cup. Pakistan won the first and last ODI match against Afghanistan comfortably but the second match was a possibility for Pakistan to lose. This Asia Cup tournament is going to be held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan where Pakistan will definitely be on the list of favourites.

In the third ODI Pakistanis are lucky that Mujeeb got out because of hit wicket otherwise it could be anyone's game. Afghanistan lost second ODI so closely but that have given them much needed experience.
Real test of Pakistan is in Asia Cup where they will face India in group stages. Pakistan will be facing India along with Nepal while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are in other group.

Pakistan won the series of Pakistan vs Afghanistan and now, Pakistan is the No.1 team in the ODI. Asia Cup and ICC ODI Mens World Cup are coming and Pakistan is the No.1 ODI team, Babar Azam is the no.1 ODI batsman so, Pakistan has a chance to win the World Cup, but at the same time, no one can tell that this is a winner because another team is also amazing and best team.

I found the second ODI match between Afghanistan and Pakistan very exciting and it was difficult to predict which team would win. A dramatic last over saw Pakistan win by one wicket in the end. However, Pakistan has boosted itself in the Asia Cup and ICC ODI World Cup by whitewashing Afghanistan.

In all the three Matches the toss winning team had decided to bat first. In this match once again Pakistan have won the toss and decided to bat. Past two matches were played in Rajapaksa International Cricket stadium. This time the venue is different and in the Premadasa stadium the average score is around 250 runs. The winning percentage of teams batting first and bowling bowling first hadn't got much difference. Expect this match to be different from the first two matches.

I thought Afghanistan might be able to win the match but they failed in the end. The failure of some top players was identified as one of the reasons for the defeat in this match. It seems to me that Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin and Naib Mohammad Nabi, who have the provability, did not play in the match. Their batting disaster was the major hindrance to their victory in the last match.

They will be seen in the field against the Bangladesh team in the 4th match of the Asia Cup on September 3. It will also be difficult for them to win against the Bangladesh team. In particular, the impact of this defeat may be the cause of concern in some of them. Bangladesh are currently ranked seventh in the ODI rankings while Afghanistan occupy the ninth position.

Mohammad Nabi is 38 years old. The fact that he is playing even now means that Afghanistan doesn't have enough strength in their batting lineup. Gurbaz and Zadran are key players, but they are inconsistent. Apart from the 80 he made during second ODI, Ibrahim Zadran's performance was disappointing. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 151 in the second match, but then he scored 5 and 18 in the other two matches. These two need to show more consistency. Anyway, both of them are just 21 years old, so there is a lot of time to improve.

Right Afghanistan team main problem is his batting line. The 3rd ODI performance is very disappointing. Previous match hero Rahmanullah Gurbaz only scored 5 runs in 15 balls and Riaz Hassan scored 33 runs in 66 balls with 5 fours but the strike rate is very low. Ibrahim Zadran key player goes for Zero in 15 balls and Hashmatullah Shahidi Captain of the Afghanistan team only scored 13 runs in 30 balls. Shahidullah scored 37 in 65 balls and Mujeeb 64 score in 37 balls batting well but was unable to win the match for Afghanistan. Pakistan's bowling unit performed well throughout the Series in the first odi all out in 59 runs. I think the Afghanistan team has improved its batting performance because at this batting line they are unable to win matches in the Asia Cup and ICC World Cup 2023.
