Not Shadab-Nawaz, Pakistan’s pace trio is the biggest hurdle in India’s victory.
Nepal was playing, India was shaking
New Delhi. The first match of Asia Cup 2023 was played between Pakistan and Nepal on August 30 in Multan. During the match, once again Pakistani bowlers were seen dominating the opposing team. Spin all-rounder Shadab Khan scored the team’s maximum four overs. Apart from that, Mohammad Nawaz also took one wicket. However, the Indian team is not too afraid of these two spinners. Team India’s biggest worry is Pakistan’s star pace trio.
Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are currently among the most dangerous pace trio in the world. The reason is that these three players are adept at economic bowling as well as wicket keeping. These three bowlers have contributed significantly to Pakistan’s recent victories.
Nepal was playing, India was rocking:
In the first match of Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan defeated Nepal by 238 runs. The Pakistani pace trio was in superb form during the match. Afridi took two big wickets in the first over. Naseem Shah also achieved important early success. After this, Rauf’s magic was seen in the middle order. He also took two wickets.
During the match, when Afridi, Shah and Rauf were bowling, Nepal was playing the game, but the Indian fans were heartbroken when the wicket fell. The reason is obvious as India’s first match is against Pakistan and their pace trio was in great form before the match.
Performance of Afridi, Shah and Rauf:
Talking about the performance of these three bowlers, Afridi has played a total of 119 matches for Pakistan so far. During this time he has got 247 success in 137 innings. While Naseem has taken 92 wickets in 58 innings of 47 matches and Rauf has taken 130 wickets in 86 innings of 88 matches.
