Once again a big match to come Pakistan vs India. This time it'll be even more fighting, because Pakistan will make each and every move very careful to win the match. Last match it was stated as India being very careful to make win following its T20 World Cup defeat. In today's match Jadeja isn't available due to injury. This will be a big loss for the team, and possibly Axar Patel will replace the position. Lets wait and the odds are very close between the two.
Once again the toss will be important, the team winning the toss will be chasing and that is how the tournament is shaping up, the team batting first lost all the matches till now and every team chased the total even if the targets were a decent one except for matches against Hong Kong. Pakistan young bowling line up will be tested again and it will be another great match.

It was a disaster yesterday. Hong Kong was really pathetic. They conceded close to 200 runs while fielding first and then lost the match by 150 runs. And this is the reason why I want ICC to prohibit teams sending 100% foreign citizen squads to such tournaments. Hong Kong stole the slot from teams with native players (Nepal, Malaysia.etc) and then put up a pathetic performance against Pakistan. If the ICC doesn't take concrete actions, at least the ACC should make it mandatory to have at least 3-4 native players in the XI.
Hongkong was a new team as compared to Pakistan. Comparing them with Pakistani team is unjust. Pakistani players are very experienced and they give almost a. huge quota to the male cricket player. So we must acknowledge that Hongkong just came into the field andd tired.

Afghanistan were very sloppy in this match which took away some of the pressure from the Lankan team. Sri Lanka are back in form which is good to see considering their pathetic form in recent times.
It looks like Bangladesh and Hong Kong have been knocked out of the tournament and I feel that India/Sri Lanka are number one contenders for winning the cup.
Yeah, I agree with you here about all Afghanistan were sloppy after having 175 targets on board, and they were feeling they can control Sri Lanka easily, but today we have completely different Sri Lanka which came for batting, and they won match just in 6th over when they hit 17 runs to Rashid Khan it's completely changed the momentum of this match and after this 16th over of the match which bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq give them another 18 runs.It looks like Bangladesh and Hong Kong have been knocked out of the tournament and I feel that India/Sri Lanka are number one contenders for winning the cup.
Overall good fight from both teams, but Sri Lanka use their experience and have good advantage after a winning chase against Bangladesh give them confidence which help them here in this match as well.
Now tomorrow match is crucial if Pakistan won then surely we will have tough fight for final spot and if India won then most chances we will have India vs Sri Lanka final with Afghanistan and Pakistan going home after end of this round.
Both of the teams played really well but I'm surprised by the performance of the Sri Lanka that was unexpected match was so close in the hands of AFG but Sri Lanka made it done more perfectly as Sri lanka won by their hard work. Now you can say that that what we call a level in the T 20 Match a head to head fight this match is now 2nd most serious match played in Asia Cup 2022. I'm much more excited for the tomorrow's match between the Pakistan and India as this match ia important for Pakistan to win and Qualify lets expect Babar to play well as I can't see any good Matches Played by him.
It is very difficult to predict the performance of teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. There is no consistency in the performance of the players in these teams. We saw a very good performance from Afghanistan in the first match against Sri Lanka. The performance of Afghanistan's bowlers was particularly noteworthy. But in today's match, Afghanistan's bowlers were completely unsuccessful. This is why Afghanistan has been defeated today.

Although the target was high, the way the Sri Lankan players batted at the beginning of the innings, the chances of their defeat in this match gradually decreased. Sri Lanka's two opening batsmen collected 71 runs. The good performance of the opening pair made it easier for Sri Lanka to win the match. However, the Afghanistan players were not able to perform as well as the first match. Sri Lankan batsmen have also returned to form. The performance of Sri Lankan batsmen has been very good in the last two matches.
While I was watching this match I noticed two turning points which indicated that Sri Lanka was going to win. Firstly, in last two over of Afghanistan inning, Sri Lanka conceded only 12 runs which was good for them as they have advantage of 10 to 12 runs which was going to be vital in this chase and this happen in Afghanistan bowling they were good and there all bowlers were doing good but 16th overs was really turning point for them as ul-Haq concede 18 runs and this give clearly win to Sri Lanka which was doing amazing job throughout in this chase and today they really strong enough after having very close win against Bangladesh in last match.
Now, from here we are turning into very interesting situation as my feeling is Afghanistan which done good in early group matches going to lose here with 0 - 3.
A solid start by the openers of Sri Lanka and at the right time Bhanuka Rajapaksa scored 31 runs made it a win for Sri Lanka. Afghanistan made many mistakes dropping catches and midfields. Those things were taken as a chance and Sri Lanka moved positive. In the last five overs Afghanistan managed to make just 37 runs. Maybe few more runs in the last five overs could've added pressure upon Sri Lanka.
Afghanistan did not manage to score the runs they needed in the last 5 overs. As opposed to Sri Lanka made a good start which helped them a lot to win. They managed to score 57 runs in the power play without losing any wicket. Only 2 players scored runs in Afghanistan team but almost all the batsmen managed to score runs on behalf of Sri Lanka team. After all, Sri Lanka have won two matches by chase one against Bangladesh(184) and another one Afghanistan(176).The way Afghanistan started their innings I thought they could easily muster more than 180. And if the middle order plays well, there is a possibility of collecting more than 200. But Afghanistan's batsmen are not able to play well. Similarly, the performance of Afghanistan's bowlers was not good. Sri Lanka lost their first wicket after collecting 62 runs in 6.3 overs. Sri Lanka batted well in the power play and advanced a lot. After that Sri Lanka managed to win quite easily due to the stable performance of other batsmen on the team.

An entertaining match in progress with 176 is good target to chase in these conditions and here at Sharjah Cricket Stadium as Afghanistan were batting there were most chances they will touch figure around 195 to 200 but at the death overs Sri Lankan done good job and restricted them just for 175 which is also compatible and now start is also very good from Sri Lankan after 6 overs they are having 57 which is very good start from them in last power play over which bowled by Rashid Khan they stole good runs which mean today they are playing with better strategy and now have learned from their mistakes.
Today I am feeling Sri Lanka will be the winner, and they are going to be good after having good win against Bangladesh in last group match.
Very interesting to watch. When Afghanistan batting got over it looked like a winning match for Afghanistan. Another fact, Afghanistan have scored 170+ runs in 21 matches and have won in every match. Sri Lanka started the innings in a very comfortable way and took the match on their side. Later few wicket fall changed the match and once again situations are getting close. We can't be sure of the match outcome. Anything can happen at the end.Today I am feeling Sri Lanka will be the winner, and they are going to be good after having good win against Bangladesh in last group match.

Absolutely! very impressive chase against a good score and a good opposition. Sri Lanka's last two matches have been very entertaining.

Afghanistan started the game very well. They have lost 1 wicket so far. Scored 132 runs in 14 overs. If they can keep the wickets going, it looks like Afghanistan can score 200 runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 80 off 40 balls. I think he had a very good run in this match. Ibrahim Zadran scored 30 runs off 28 balls. Both of them had very good runs.

Afghanistan set a target of 176 runs. But that doesn't seem like enough to me. There is no way to say that the pitch is bowling friendly. Afghanistan should have collected more than 190 today. In the last match as well, the Sri Lanka team won easily against Bangladesh by batting at a target of 184 runs.
Sri Lanka's two openers scored 57 runs in 6 overs. They haven't lost a wicket yet. Kushal Mendis is batting very well. He is still unbeaten with 36 runs off 18 balls. Afghanistan's bowlers have no chance of winning this match unless they pick up wickets very quickly.
I think already at 166/5, Afghanistan have a very good score. It gets much harder to play here as the ball gets older.
Yes I agree, that its hard to get citizenship for these countries. Still I was expecting some kind of proof that none of these teams have a single citizen.
In the GCC region, there is a separate competition called Gulf cup cricket, where only citizens are allowed to take part. I have very rarely seen anyone from the Gulf cup being a part of the national team. Previously there were a few, such as Alawi Al Braik and Fahad Al Hashmi, but now for the last 3-4 years UAE national team hasn't included anyone from the "nationals" group.
