Match Details

The Super Four 4th match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday, 7th September 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Asia Cup 2022 Super Four 4th Match Prediction Overview

Pakistan is now in a good position to qualify for the final of Asia Cup 2022 but beating India in a nail-biting match. They had two matches left against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka and they have to win one out of the remaining two matches but we think that they will beat both teams. We had seen in the past that the matches between Pakistan and Afghanistan are very interesting and the same we will see in this match.

Afghanistan was beaten by Sri Lanka in their first super four matches. That was a thriller one where Afghanistan was on the losing side. Now they have to win both remaining matches to reach the final of Asia Cup 2022. We can’t take Afghanistan as a weak team. They have strong batting and bowling departments. Pakistan is starting this match as a favorite team and they will be today match winner of this match.

Pakistan Reviews

Pakistan won the first match of the super four against their traditional rivals, India and they will be happy with it. Pakistan won the match but left a lot of questions to be answered. The skipper, Babar Azam is out of form since the start of the Asia Cup 2022 and his record against the spin bowling unit of Afghanistan is not very strong. This will be very interesting in the battle between Rashid Khan and Babar Azam. Pakistan has a poor net run rate in super overs and even in the first ten overs. This problem should be solved by the batters of Pakistan. Fakhar Zaman is the other batter who is not performing well in Asia Cup 2022. He has a good record while playing against spin bowlers but he is not able to protect the wickets.

The form of Mohamamd Rizwan is tremendous and we are sure that he will be good against the bowling unit of Afghanistan. Mohammad Nawaz was promoted up the order and he proved this decision tight. His 42 runs on just 20 balls proved the game changers. We don’t think that Pakistan will make any changes in the squad for this match. The bowling unit of Pakistan was good against India but not much impressive. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf were punished in the early overs and leaked a lot of runs but they bounced back strongly in the middle overs. Mohammad Hasnain was given a chance in the previous match but he did not perform well. Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz were not very easy to play by the batters of India. These both bowlers also picked key wickets.

Afghanistan Reviews

Afghanistan came as a favorite team in the previous match against Sri Lanka but they lost the match and this was very surprising for Afghanistan. The batting order of Afghanistan was good where they scored 175 runs in 20 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz proved the highest run-scorer but he did not get any help from other batters. He scored a total of 84 runs on just 45 balls with the help of four boundaries and six huge sixes. Ibrahim Zadran was the second-highest run-scorer from their side with 40 runs to his name. We think that they were almost 20 to 25 runs short. Najibullah Zadran and Ibrahim Zadran are also good batters but they had not proved it.

It will be interesting to see how the batting order of Afghanistan performs against the strong bowling unit. The bowling unit of Afghanistan is very heavy and is led by the best spin bowlers in the world. It is also an interesting point that the batting order of Pakistan is good to play the spin bowlers. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb, and Mohammad Nabi will have to play the main role in this match. Sri Lanka scored plenty of runs against these spin bowlers and we are sure that Pakistan can also do so but for that, they have to bat well. The roles of Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq will also be crucial in this match.

Pitch Report and Conditions

The Super Four 4th match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. This pitch is offering a flat batting surface with a huge amount of pace and bounce. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this 4th Match. A score of 170 to 180 is going to be tough to chase.

Weather Report

The weather forecast in Dubai will be hot and will also test the players physically. It is predicting some clouds around on Matchday but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted 4th Match.
