Asia cup cricket is going to start from today

27th August 2022, Saturday 

It's 7:21 PM right now, and the 15th Asia Cup is going to start in Abu Dhabi in just 39 minutes. In football like Copa America, European Cup are different tournaments similarly in cricket apart from World Cup there is a cricket tournament with Asian countries which is called Asia Cup Cricket. Asia Cup cricket is mostly played in the 50 over format, but the 2022 Asia Cup will be in the T20 format. Asia Cup in T20 format in 2022 is the reason why t20 world cup cricket is going to start shortly after. So the Asia Cup is very important as a preparation for the T20 Cricket World Cup.

Every time the Asia Cup consists of five teams, but this time Hong Kong, UAE, Singapore, Kuwait as a qualifier among the four teams, Hong Kong as the number 6 team gets a chance in the Asia Cup. Although among these four teams, Kuwait did very well but failed to qualify, falling behind Hong Kong in the ratings.

Later the 6 team divided into two groups Group A and Group B.

Group A team

• Sri Lanka

• Bangladesh

• Afghanistan

Group B team

• India

• Pakistan

• Hong Kong

It will be very difficult for Pakistan to play this tournament as their only hope is Shaheen Afridi injured. But they have some reliable players including Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman who can give a 180 degree turn at any moment. However, Pakistan's country's preparations are not at all favorable, as the floods caused by the rains of the past few days have killed more than a thousand people. About 40 percent of them were children. It is difficult for the Pakistan team to play such a big tournament under such circumstances.

This Asia Cup is the only opportunity for Virat Kohli to turn around for the Indian team. Because since last one year Virat Kohli is not able to do anything good in cricket. His bad form in cricket came after he started his married life. However, the most favorite team in this tournament is India. But it should not be forgotten that the last time India faced Pakistan Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets which is quite a shame.

Hong Kong is playing in the Asia Cup for the first time and with tough opponents like Pakistan and India, almost everyone is 100% confident that Hong Kong will make it out of the first round. But qualifying for the Asia Cup is a big thing, which other Asian countries could not do.

Now if we talk about Bangladesh, even if we talk all night today, it will not end. The main reason for this is that Bangladesh's team combination is so bad in the Asia Cup tournament that there is no doubt that Bangladesh will be eliminated from the group stage. A case in point is Sabbir Rahman, who has been included in the t20 Asia Cup squad regardless of his performance. When the Bangladesh team was repeatedly performing poorly with other teams, the players who were in the Bangladesh squad were dropped. A worse player is taken to recover the position of the eliminated player. Whose domestic cricket, Premier League, BPL or Big Bash could not perform well anywhere. If Bangladesh's T20 statistics are seen, their winning rate in the last 20 matches is below 10%. In that case, Bangladesh is ranked above Afghanistan, but considering recent performance, Bangladesh's position is at the bottom. The Bangladesh Cricket Board is the main player behind Bangladesh's cricket performance being so bad. Sports can never do well if politics comes into it. There is always politics in Bangladesh cricket, it can never be the job of a cricket board to give bad players a chance and replace them with good players. Which Bangladesh Cricket Board has always been doing.

That's it, now 8:00 PM. Asia cup cricket has been started. Today's match between Srilanka and Afghanistan. Happy watching :D
