Pakistan gave a target of 163 runs to India in the Asia Cup game being played at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday.

India tilted the game in its favour after taking back-to-back wickets of Pakistan top-order in the Asia Cup game being played at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday.

Pakistan dominated for a brief span of the game with 82 run partnership between Shoaib Malik and Babar Azam. The stand was broken by spinner Kedar Jahav as he dismissed Azam (47 off 62 balls) on a wrong’un.

The traditional batting meltdown ensues.

Sarfaraz Ahmed, Asif Ali failed to play much-needed strong innings as they were dismissed cheaply on six and nine runs respectively.

A brilliant throw by Ambati Rayudu curtailed Malik’s resistance against the Indian side. The former skipper added 43 off 67 runs in Pakistan’s total tally.

Shadab Khan was stumped on eight runs off 19 balls.

Pakistan lost its openers early in the game as fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave a much-needed breakthrough to Rohit Sharma’s side.

Imam-ul-Haq was caught behind on two while Fakhar Zaman gave an easy catch to midwicket fielder after giving a top edge. Later in the game, Shoaib Malik and Babar Azam’s over 50 runs partnership stand provided a relief to the green shirts.

Former skipper MS Dhoni dropped Shaoib Malik on Hardik Pandya’s bowl when he was on 26.

Imam-ul-Haq was caught behind on two while Fakhar Zaman gave an easy catch to midwicket fielder after giving a top edge.

The Indian pacers stuck to a tight line and length in the opening two overs, which put the pressure on young Imam. He tried to accelerate the scoring by charging down the pitch and paid the price, nicking one behind to MS Dhoni.

Babar Azam walked in to partner Zaman, but their partnership barely lasted a couple of minutes, as the latter top-edged a Kumar delivery in the 5th over and was caught by Chahal.

Shoaib Malik, who replaced Imam, struck the innings’ first boundary in the 6th over before Azam struck two boundaries of his own in the 7th to take the score to 20-2.

Toss: Pakistan win toss, elect to bat first

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed has won the toss and elected to bat first against arch rivals India in the last One-day International of Group A in the Asia Cup 2018 here at the Dubai International Cricket stadium on Wednesday.

Sarfraz Ahmed says: “We would like to score more than 280 runs on the board and then put pressure on them (India).”

For India, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Panyda are back in the playing eleven.

FINAL SQUADS

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed(w/c), Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Usman Khan #AsiaCup2018 #INDvPAK

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni(w), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah #INDvPAK #AsiaCup2018

Spectators have started coming in to watch the biggest match of the Asia Cup 2018 between arch-rivals Pakistan and India.

While India have an edge over Pakistan in Asia Cup, winning six out of 12 encounters, Sarfraz-led team is considered favourite to win today’s high voltage match in Dubai’s sun-baked stadium.

Rival captains Sarfraz Ahmed and Rohit Sharma played down the hype surrounding the much-awaited clash, insisting that the Asia Cup is much more than a contest between the arch-rivals.

But despite their claims, millions of fans across the border and elsewhere in the world will be watching the Group A clash, with a sold out 25,000-crowd expected at Dubai Stadium.

The game is the first between the sub-continent rivals since Pakistan thumped India by 180 runs in the final of the Champions Trophy at The Oval in June last year.The two teams are facing each other for the first time in the United Arab Emirates since 2006, the last of their regular matches which were also held in Sharjah between 1984-2000.

Sarfraz, who led Pakistan in that memorable Champions Trophy triumph, denied that his team will have a psychological advantage.

“We will not take that Champions Trophy win in our minds,” said Sarfraz on Monday, a day after his team thumped qualifiers Hong Kong in their first match of the tournament.

“That was a different atmosphere (in London) and conditions. It was a year ago so that´s history so we will enter the ground with a new strategy and passion.”

India without Kohli

India’s regular captain and world-class batsman Virat Kohli has been rested for the competition to help his aching back after a gruelling tour of England.

But Sarfraz refused to accept Kohli´s absence will make much difference.“No doubt he (Kohli) is their captain and a world-class batsman but I think they (India) have a good team even without Kohli.

“They have good players who have done well for India. So I don´t think it will make much difference to India. Their batting is very strong so I can say that it will be a good match.”

Sarfraz has told his players just to enjoy the occasion.

“My message to the players is not to bother about the result and do (their) best and when you do that you get a positive result in all matches because there are five other teams as well,” he said.

India have won the event — which started in 1984 — six times, while Pakistan have been champions twice.Two teams from each group will qualify for the Super Four stage, with the top two to reach the September 28 final.

So barring any upsets against Hong Kong, India and Pakistan will also face off again in the Super Four on September 23.

India skipper Sharma said his team will be looking beyond Pakistan.

“It´s always exciting to play Pakistan, but it´s not about one team as well. There are other teams also eyeing the title,” said Sharma, who has the rare record of scoring three one-day international double hundreds.

All six teams have to endure extreme hot conditions in the UAE, with the temperature scaling to over 40 degrees Celsius and expected to rise further in the coming days.Likely Squads: 

Pakistan: Sarfraz Ahmed (captain), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Haris Sohail, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir, Junaid Khan, Usman Khan Shinwari, Shaheen Shah Afridi

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed.Asia Cup: PM Imran To Watch Pakistan-India Clash: SourcesPM Imran to Watch Match in Stadium
