Asia Cup 2022: Rating Teams based on performance in group stage
India and Afghanistan have topped their respective groups winning both of their games.
3. Pakistan - 7.5/10
Pakistan despite losing a game has performed quite decently in the group stages. Their bowling has been the joint-best in the competition. Though the Men in Green have stuttered with the bat, they seem to have improved game after game.
Naseem Shah who made his debut in this tournament was quite impeccable with the ball, especially in the powerplay. The spin duo of Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz have done great at strangling the opposition in the middle overs. In the batting department, Mohammad Rizwan has been among the runs in both games. Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah coming back in form has been a good sign for the Men in Green going forward.
However, the cautious approach of Pakistan's batters in the early phases of the innings has been a point of concern. Also, their skipper Babar Azam has not found his mojo yet, the management would hope he gets back to form at the business end of the tournament.
