Fans Share Happiness as India Defeat Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022 Opener

Hardik Pandya, the star as fans share happiness over the thrilling win of Team India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 opener. 

If ‘Perfect Sunday’ needs an example, then look no beyond India’s thrilling win over Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022 opener. From losing by 10 wickets in the last outing vs Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2021 to taking Pakistan’s 10 wickets for the first time in T20Is, it was a night filled with happiness for all the Indian cricket fans.

Team India couldn’t have asked for a better start than this to their Asia Cup 2022 campaign as they thrash Pakistan by 5 wickets. Bowling first, India restricted Pakistan to just 147 runs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with a spell of 4/26. Hardik Pandya was also equally impressive with a spell of 3/25. 

Chasing 148, India lost KL Rahul on the second ball itself. It felt like a T20 World Cup 2021 Deja Vu, but a stable partnership between Virat and Rohit guided the chase. Even as India lost their top-order, the confident Hardik Pandya with a score of 33*(17) and Ravindra Jadeja with a score of 35(29) helped reach the target in 19.4 overs.
