India and Pakistan are all set to entertain cricketing fans once again as they face off for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 tournament.

Hardik Pandya’s all-round brilliance and veteran pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s four-wicket haul proved to be enough for Babar Azam’s team. Pandya took three wickets for 25 runs in his four-over spell while Bhuvneshwar delivered a solid performance of four wickets for 26 runs to restrict Pakistan to 147 all-out in 19.5 overs.

Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, who is now ruled out of the tournament due to injury, made 35 apiece with Hardik playing a blitz innings of unbeaten 33 off 17 to guide his side to a win. The Men in Blue then scripted a 40-run victory over Hong Kong to progress to the Super 4 round.
