Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> and Hardik Pandya<\/a> are the men in form but the old hands Rohit and Virat Kohli<\/a> would also want to make\u00a0 statement in the big match.<\/p>\n Former Pakistan captain and all-rounder Shoaib Malik<\/a> has made a big statement before the start of the match. In his tweet Malik said that the winner of this match will be the first finalist of Asia Cup 2022.<\/p>\n “Who so ever holds the nerves better, enjoys the Game & plays good cricket out there today, in my opinion will be the first finalist of Asia Cup 2022,” Malik tweeted.<\/p>\n – Who so ever holds the nerves better, enjoys the Game & plays good cricket out there today, in my opinion will be the first finalist of Asia Cup 2022 #PakVsInd<\/a> #IndVsPak<\/a> #Cricket<\/a> #AsiaCupT20<\/a> #Pakistan<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kPLSPhZ18Z<\/a><\/p>\n\n
