Asia Cup: Pakistan off to a steady start against India

New Delhi: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat in the last Asia Cup league match against arch-rivals India at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Stung by the upset defeat against minnows Bangladesh, India will be under immense pressure when they go into their must-win last Asia Cup league match against arch-rivals Pakistan on Mirpur on Sunday with bowling in the slog overs continuing to be a big worry.

Pakistan, on the other hand, have already secured a berth in the final with victories over Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and will be under less pressure unlike the Indians.

Teams:

India: MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashok Dinda, Gautam Gambhir, Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina, Sachin Tendulkar, Manoj Tiwary, Vinay Kumar, Rohit Sharma, Rahul Sharma.


Pakistan: Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Aizaz Cheema, Mohammad Hafeez, Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul, Younis Khan, Abdur Rehman, Asad Shafiq, Hammad Azam, Nasir Jamshed, Wahab Riaz, Umar Akmal.
