Group stage table toppers Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team and Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan National Cricket Team will lock horns in the 5th match of the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022. The match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday, September 8.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said:

“I feel Farooqi and Rashid will together pick up three or more wickets. Farooqi is bowling well and we have troubles against the left-arm pacers in any case. We don’t play them well.”

Notably, India and Afghanistan have already been eliminated from the tournament after losing back-to-back games in the Super 4 stage. Pakistan are set to lock horns with Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2022 final.

I feel Deepak and Arshdeep will together pick up four or more wickets – Aakash Chopra

Chopra is expecting medium-pacer Deepak Chahar, who replaced Avesh Khan in the 15-member squad, to play against Afghanistan. The cricketer-turned-commentator predicted that Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar will together bag 4 or more wickets.

He asserted: “I feel Deepak and Arshdeep will together pick up four or more wickets. I am saying that because I feel Deepak will play and you should play him as well. You might rest Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) but if there is grass on this pitch, what is the point?”

“I feel there will be grass on this pitch. I think the match will not be played on the pitch where the India-Sri Lanka match was played. It will be on the adjacent pitch, which will have a little more grass. If Deepak Chahar plays, he will pick up wickets with the new ball and Arshdeep with the old ball.”
