By


 The Asia Cup is set to kick off tomorrow and fans are eagerly anticipating the tournament. This year's competition promises to be an exciting one, with several strong teams vying for the title. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan are all expected to put up a good fight and showcase their cricketing skills. The matches are bound to be intense, and the players will be giving it their all to come out on top. Fans can expect a thrilling few weeks of cricket as the best teams from Asia battle it out for supremacy.

This year's tournament as a team making their first appearance in the Asia Cup and that's Nepal. This is going to be a great learning opportunity for Nepal as they are in Group A with Pakistan and India. The Nepal players will gain a lot from playing against the two Asian giants in the cricket world. 

This year's tournament will be taking place across Pakistan and Sri Lanka. 4 matches in Pakistan and 9 matches in Sri Lanka. The six teams have been divided into 2 groups. Group A Pakistan, India, Nepal and Group B Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

 The top 2 from each group will progress to the super 4 and then the top 2 of the super 4 will qualify for the final. 

My predictions are Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will qualify for the Super 4.

Good Luck to all 6 teams for the Asia Cup 2023

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

By
  The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each.  The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship.  It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs.  The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

By
  The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs.  Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
