Asia Cup 2022: Rating Teams based on performance in group stage
India and Afghanistan have topped their respective groups winning both of their games.
2. India - 8/10
India are the defending champions having won the previous edition in 2018. Rohit Sharma & Co have been unbeaten in the group stages but their performances have been not as per their standards. The No.1 ranked T20I side won a last-over thriller courtesy of all-around Hardik Pandya whereas Suryakumar Yadav's imperious knock got the Men in Blue out of jail in the Hong Kong game.
Hardik and Suryakumar continuing on their rich vein of form has been a big plus. Also, Indian ace-batter Virat Kohli coming back amongst the runs has been a big boost for a team with the T20 World Cup around the corner. Bhuvneshwar has been at his consistent best and carried the mantle of the Indian pace attack.
However, Rohit Sharma & Co. has some areas of concern. KL Rahul has been quite scratchy in the two games and also on the bowling front, Avesh Khan has looked out of sorts. Yuzvendra Chahal not being amongst the wickets has also dented India in the middle overs.
