<p>Asia Cup 2022 will be underway shortly. Much-awaited India versus Pakistan contest will also take place in Asia Cup 2022. India dominantly won the Asia Cup 2018. The team was so good that Virat Kohli was rested, Rohit was handed the captaincy and still India managed to win the tournament. So, who are the biggest threats for India in this tournament? Will India be able to repeat the 2018 Asia Cup victory? Will India be able to defend its dominance over Asia? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Pakistan Cricket Team will be India?s Biggest Competition in the Asia Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/babar-azam-toi-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="Babar Azam Asia Cup" class="wp-image-92065"/><figcaption>The Pakistani Captain can be a real threat to the Indian team. IMG SRC: TOI.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Pakistan Cricket team is going to be India?s biggest competition at the Asia Cup. Pakistan has a good set of players. And these players are true match winners. Shaheen Shah Afridi and his left arm pace can rattle the Indian top-order. Afridi has previously shown his magic in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He was a handful for the Indian batsmen. The contest between Shaheen and Rohit will be a great one to watch. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are two batters who can make the Indian bowlers toil. On his day, there is no better player than Fakhar Zaman. He takes the game away single-handedly. The same is the case with Shadab Khan. So, the men in green are coming with a set of great match-winners this time around. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka Team Can Offer Competition:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/Wanindu-Hasaranga-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Wanindu Hasaranga Asia Cup" class="wp-image-92064"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>The next team on the platter is Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka as a nation is facing a time of turmoil. And such a situation has previously taken place. When Sri Lanka faced tsunamis in 1996 and Arjuna Ranatunga led the team to a World Cup Victory. So, when Sri Lanka feels they have to perform, they do it with immense class. Also, a new crop of white-ball players makes the team more amazing. Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Kumara, Charith Asalanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are elite players. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The biggest threat from the players of the Emerald Isle is Wanindu Hasaranga. Wanindu Hasarnaga dominated the IPL 2022 season. The players were not able to decode his bowling. He has a lot to offer with the bat in hand as well. He can easily, yet effectively bat as a number 7 batter. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Asia Cup 2022 has set the cricketing world on fire. The community is awaiting the amazing India VS Pakistan contest that takes place less often today. The best of Asia will take on each other. A new contest will be on display every day. The most elite players of Asia will be taking part in Asia Cup 2022. With this being said, who are the star players from each of the squad? Who are the players that can be the ?Heroes? in crunch situations? Here is an in-depth look:</p>



<h2>1) Wanindu Hasaranga will be Sri Lanka?s X-Factor in Asia Cup 2022:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Wanindu-Hasaranga-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-92534"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The INdian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>Wanindu Hasaranga will be a vital cog from Sri Lanka. The leg-spin wizard has been dominating the T20 leagues across the globe. His dominant performance in the IPL shut all the critics who described him as overpriced. The top international batters have found it difficult to pick his googlies.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>2) Hardik Pandya will be India?s X-Factor in Asia Cup 2022:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Hardik-Pandya-min.jpg" alt="Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-92535"/></figure>



<p>Hardik Pandya is the most pivotal player in India?s plans for Asia Cup 2022 and for the ICC World Cup 2022. There is word around that India is expected to send a full-strength team to the Asia Cup and Hardik will be playing the role of the floater, finisher, and batting all-rounder. The team combination finds great balance with Hardik?s addition. He is a bank of at least 3 overs in any T20 game. With his current form, he can be a deadly batter and can win games single-handedly for the nation.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>3) Shaheen Shah Afridi from Pakistan:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi-min-1.jpg" alt="Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-92533"/><figcaption> IMG SRC:TOI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Left-arm pacers always rule world cricket. Over the years we have seen an amazing set of them. The era of left-armers began with Wasim and Waqar and was carried forward by Zak, Nehra, Starc, and Boult. The next sensation on this list is Shaheen Shah Afridi. With the pin-point yorkers and with the deadly in-swinger he is an elite combination. He started playing from the Asia Cup 2018 onwards and since then his game has improved by leaps and bounds. Shaheen will test Rohit, Tamim, and Zazai with his in-swingers and out-swingers up front.</p>



<h2>4) Mujeeb Ur Rahman from Afghanistan:</h2>



<p>Mujeeb is someone who has been very impressive but has always been under the shadow of Rashid Khan. Mujeeb and Rashid form a deadly combination. If both of these bowlers do well and the batters manage to get 160+ runs on the board, the opposition is going to be in trouble. So, more than Rashid Khan, the performance of Mujeeb and the batters will decide the fate of the Afgan team.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>5) Mustafizur Rahman from Bangladesh will be their X-factor in Asia Cup 2022:</h2>



<p>Another left-arm pacer but this time it is a T20 specialist. ?The Fizz? has already done very well against India and Pakistan. He has a world of experience too. He has now become a T20 specialist with an amazing set of variations. It will be amazing to see how he does at Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;</p>

Asia Cup 2022: X-Factor Players From Each Team. Players to Watch Out For.&nbsp;

asia-cup-2022-x-factor-players-from-each-team-players-to-watch-out-for

<p>Cricket today is the batter's game. Asia Cup 2022 will also feature many such amazing batsmen. But to lock horns with these batters, there will also be many outstanding bowlers. The tournament might not feature Jasprit Bumrah from India but there are many more exciting talents on display. The bowlers are considered as a labor class of the game but to win big tournaments, it is necessary to have a good bowling lineup. Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Wanindu Hasaranga is a Top Bowler at the Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Wanindu Hasaranga as I have mentioned earlier is one of the most exciting players at this Asia Cup. After dominating the greats of the game in the IPL 2022 season, Hasaranga has proven his worth. Hasaranga will be keen to restore the fallen glory of Sri Lankan cricket. Sri Lanka as a nation is also facing testing times. In such situations, Hasaranga and his team will be keen on performing exceptionally well on the field. His google is tough to pick and it is because of his fast round-arm action.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Shaheen Shah Afridi is a Top Bowler at Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi-min-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93020"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: PCB</figcaption></figure>



<p>Left-arm pacers are ruling world cricket. And Shaheen Shah Afridi is making the most of it. He has been out of the cricketing setup for some time but will be keen to make a great comeback. He can do serious damage with that ball in his hand. Shaheen will be rooting to bowl to Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as both the bowlers have a history of struggling against left-arm pace. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Arshdeep Singh from India:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Arsh impressed everyone with his precision at the death. His death bowling is too good. Arshdeep has improved his game by leaps and bounds in the past few years. He is one hell of an exciting talent. He belongs to the elite batch of Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, and Kamlesh Nagarkoti. Arshdeep is a complete T20 package. He gives the team 1 or 2 good overs at the beginning when the ball is hard and fresh. And at their death, he brings out his variations.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Fazalhaq Farooqi:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Fazalhaq-Farooqi-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Fazalhaq Farooqi Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-93021"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: Latestly</figcaption></figure>



<p>Another pacer on the list is Fazalhaq Farooqi from Afghanistan. Farooqi was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. He also happens to be a left-arm pacer like Shaheen and Arshdeep Singh. Farooqi can swing the ball into the right-hander. He bowls around 135 to 140 clicks and is the first threatening fast bowler from Afghanistan.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Yuzvendra Chahal from India is the top Bowler at Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Yuzi-Chahal-min-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="Yuzi Chahal Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-93019"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>The wizard of Indian Cricket, Yuzvendra Chahal has many points to prove. He happens to be India?s most successful bowler in T20Is. He wants to ensure that the selectors regret not picking him in the last T20 World Cup which was held in UAE. Chahal is one of the most daring cricketers and he is always on the offense. He is keen on taking wickets even if that means going for a few extra runs. &nbsp;</p>

Asia Cup 2022: Top 5 Bowlers to Watch Out for at the Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;

asia-cup-2022-top-5-bowlers-to-watch-out-for-at-the-asia-cup-2022

<p>The Afghanistan team will be one of the six Nations to participate in the Asia Cup 2022. A team which has never been able to lift the trophy in its history so far will be eager to make a mark in the upcoming edition of the tournament. The team is looking to be in a pretty fine rhythm presently after drawing a high voltage T20I series 2-2 against Ireland.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Mohammed Nabi lead side will look to prove its worth in all the departments of the game and have a serious impact in the tournament that is to begin shortly. With the squad and quality of players that they possess, the team has got all the chances to surprise everyone and upset other giant cricketing nations that are participating in the tournament. Let's take a look at the possible Playing XI for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022:-</p>



<h2>Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK)</h2>



<p>20-year-old Rahmanullah Gurbaz will surely be the first choice opener for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. The right-hander has a unique ability to play attacking shots early on in the innings and provide lightning-fast starts to his side.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With a T20I career strike rate of 133.4, he is really going to be handy for the Afghanistan side while batting up the order in the Asia Cup.</p>



<h2>Hazratullah Zazai</h2>



<p>Hazratullah Zazai though has been a bit irregular in terms of featuring into his team's playing XI in the recent matches is expected to play alongside Rahmanullah in the opening slot in the Asia Cup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The left-hander has got amazing big-hitting abilities and can give quick-fire starts to his team with his attacking approach in the first few overs of the powerplay.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His taking the opposition bowling line up to the cleaners every now and then is going to be crucial for Afghanistan.</p>



<h2>Ibrahim Zadran</h2>



<p>Ibrahim Zadran looked good with the bat in the recent series against Ireland and played quite a few handful of knocks in the middle order. He has been a pillar in the lineup for his side holding one end firmly and steering the innings steadily throughout the innings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His presence on the pitch will be of great use to his side during the Asia Cup as he cements his place at no.3 in the line up.</p>



<h2>Najibullah Zadran</h2>



<p>Left-handed Najibullah Zadran has been one of the greatest rising stars for his side in the recent past with the bat. The young middle-order batsman has the ability to clear the fence at will and perform on a regular basis in the shorter formats which makes him a proper batsman to fill up the no.4 slot.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Zadran is in the fine form currently and has smashed a fine fifty in the recent series vs Ireland.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Samiullah Shenwari</h2>



<p>Samiullah Shenwari owing to some quality performances with the bat in the recent <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Shpageeza_Cricket_League">Shpageeza Cricket League 2022</a> has been selected into the squad of Afghanistan that is to feature in the Asia Cup. The 34-year-old batsman last played an international match for his side back in 2020.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The right-hander has got the ability to smash the ball hard in the death overs and also play the safe game early on in the innings which might be useful to his side in the Asia Cup.</p>



<h2>Mohammed Nabi (C)</h2>



<p>Next in comes skipper Mohammed Nabi who will be a massive factor for his side in the Asia Cup. The right-hander has been a massively important part of his side in the last several years during the major tournaments and will have a major role to play in the Asia Cup too.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 37-year-old is a clean hitter of the ball and can also be of great impact with the ball under crucial circumstances.His living up to his worth will be important for his side to lift the trophy this year.</p>



<h2>Rashid Khan</h2>



<p>Another massively useful all-rounder, Rashid Khan will follow his skipper Nabi in the batting order. A world-class spinner who can turn the game on its head for his side all by himself, Rashid has been the hero for Afghanistan several times before this.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He also can be an extremely handy Batsman who can smash quick runs towards the later half of the innings. His all round skills will be of great use to his side in the Asia Cup 2022.</p>



<h2>Naveen Ul Haq</h2>



<p>Afghanistan's bowling lineup will expectedly consist of young sensation Naveen Ul Haq. The 22-year-old has been in great rhythm with the ball in the recent series vs Ireland.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With 25 wickets in his T20I career so far that spans just 17 games, he is going to be a crucial addition to his side in the Asia Cup.</p>



<h2>Mujeeb Ur Rahman</h2>



<p>Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be accompanying Rashid Khan to strengthening the spin department of the team. The spinner though not much effective in terms of picking wickets nowadays can be of great use to hole the runs in the middle overs. His being in a good rhythm with the ball in the Asia Cup will be important for his side.</p>



<h2>Fareed Ahmed</h2>



<p>Fareed Ahmed will possibly be another member of Afghanistan's pace battery in the Asia Cup. The pacer though has been a part of the squad for quite some years now, but hasn't been able to cement his place in the playing XI on a regular basis.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A good spell of bowling in the recent series against Ireland might perhaps provide him with an opportunity to find a place in his side's playing XI for the Asia Cup.</p>



<h2>Fazalhaq Farooqi</h2>



<p>Fazalhaq Farooqi is another rising star who is possibly going to be a part of Afghanistan's bowling department in the Asia Cup. With his noteworthy performances in his short T20I career so far, he has managed to draw the attention of several T20 franchises from all around the world.&nbsp;</p>



<p>At just 21 years of age, the bowler has managed to produce impressive numbers of 12 wickets with an economy of just 6 and will be a key bowler for Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022.</p>
