Based on that performance in the final? They won’t go past Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, that was a soul crushing loss tbh.

Yes that was big loss but they tend to perform badly in big game like finals/ semifinals.

They did lost more badly in World T20 semifinal in 2024 .

I expect them to beat Bangladesh, Lanka in super 4 stages and that may be good enough to reach in final .

:kp
 
Wait Afghanistan, Lanka and Bangladesh are in one group so Only two of them will be there in super -4 stages.

Lanka, Afghanistan from second group and india , Pakistan from one group.

Afghanistan needs to beat 2 out of India / Pakistan/ Lanka to reach in the final.

:kp
 
Afghanistan are a good tournament team, who are known to step up their game in tournaments. I wouldn't read too much into last night's performance. They should start with an easy win against Hong Kong tomorrow, which will give them some confidence. I fully expect them to reach the Super Fours. After that, it's anybody's game.

My bold prediction is that we will see an India-Pakistan final for the first time in the Asia Cup.

Stop making excuses, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have much better batting line-ups than Afghans.

You can only rely so much on your bowling to win you every single game.

The psychological aspect of getting a mauling like this when you’re giving it all is something you are not taking into account. Afghanistan will have to show a lot of character to bounce back from this, I won’t be surprised if they give Hong Kong a sniff too tomorrow.

What these are not excuses. Lanka recently lost a t20 match against Zimbabwe at home after getting bundled out for 80 odd runs.

THey will bounce back very soon but pakistan yet to recover from Asia cup 2023 phinata and they will Only recover when they will beat india or win any ICC or even ACC events


:klopp :kp

There is something missing in that upper compartment of yours.

Pakistan hasn’t recovered from a phainta in 2023, while Afghanistan will shrug off a 75 run mauling in the final of a tournament, just two days before the Asia Cup?

Anyone else care to chime in here? :vk2
 
There can only be one bold prediction, and that’s India crashing out of the tournament.

Anything else that happens won’t be a surprise tbh, four of the contenders for the final are languishing at the bottom of the rankings.

Ya despite the flaky nature of this format , conditions playing an equalizer India are still the favorites. So that will be a surprise. That will be a surprise not shock. Even when they were not exactly great India always did well in Asia cups. Having said that in right conditions teams can challenge any team. India vs USA encounter was also not totally one-sided in those conditions. Netravalkar nailed both Rohit and Kohi very early. If the pitch is super sluggish and India can go on the offensive and collapse.
 
India look strong, but if Pakistan play to their potential and play the right combination (cf. Tri-series Final), they can also do well in Asia Cup.

Both Farhan and Haris are struggling for runs at the moment, but I hope that they find their best form in the Asia Cup and help the team win.

I white-ball matches (unlike test matches), it essentially comes down to how you perform on the day.
 
My bold prediction is Ind and Pakistan is going to play thrice including the final..and India to win two matches and one by Pakistan..Toss is going to play a major role in the tournament..
 
BOLD PREDICTIONS:

Pakistan is going to beat India in 1 game at least.. Will end up runners-up again
 
I have a feeling SL will surprise everyone again and go on to play the Final. These guys somehow comes from nowhere in big tournaments and shocks everyone.

How is this possible? Isn't it group stage (1 match vs each team) and then semi and then final? Only 2 chances to play each other, no?
 
Good luck! Hope to see good cricket in the entire tournament. Life is boring without cricket, to be frank.
Pakistan is playing cricket non Stop at this moment but we have not played any cricket for more than a month's. :kp
 
Shubhman Gill will outperform and will be the player of the tournament. Cementing his place in the side. :kp
 
As per reports, dew was not there in last 6 days. So pitches may assist spinners and its going to be difficult for all the batsmen to hit them.pacers and pp may become the target.

Reports are wrong, there has been definite dew in the past few days as it’s considerably humid right now in Dubai in the evening.

Why chasing will be best option in Asia Cup due to dew and grassy pitches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi .

Spinners may effective in later part of the tournament.

:kp
 
I don't care if India chases or defends. If they lose due to toss so be it.
I think batting will be packed till 8 to negate the toss.seems dube is in and pandya is the second pacer.mostly india team will be same in first two matches as team is completely in rest mode.
 
Pakistan’s chances slightly doomed due to the unlucky charm’s arrival

I made a similar prediction, Pakistan will win on Sunday with Haris playing a key role.
 
I'd very much like to see a naagin fisty fight between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka players.

In all seriousness, they should bat him in the top order. Farhan, Saim, Haris, Fakhar should be the Top 4.

Actually you know what @Nikhil_cric Haris man of the tournament.

End of story. I'm dead serious. This is a bold prediction no one has made but I will make it. That's my level of confidence this time.

By the end of asia cup everyone will be marvelling at me predicting something no one possibly could.

Saigol bhai, I like the enthusiasm. There is a thin line between a bold prediction and a silly one.
