Date and Time : 23rd September 2018, 5:00 PM IST
Venue : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
India are unbeaten so far in the 2018 Asia Cup courtesy of their three successive victories over Hong Kong, Pakistan and Bangladesh respectively. They will be confident going ahead in the tournament.
India though need to be at their best and also be vary of a dangerous Pakistan side who will be looking to take revenge of the defeat in the Group Stages of the ongoing tournament.
On the other hand, Pakistan suffered their only defeat in the tournament thus far at the hands of India. They though know that a win tomorrow when they meet again especially in a more meaningful game will raise their Morales.
But the Men in Green will have to play their best cricket in order to topple the Indians.
India are now ahead of Pakistan in terms of the head to head of the Asia Cup meetings between the two.
Team news and possible line-ups
Shadab Khan is doubtful for Pakistan ahead of the weekend game against India.
As for India, they will likely remain unchanged and play the same XI as in the previous game.
Pakistan XI : S. Ahmed (C&WK), F. Zaman, I. Ul-Haq, B. Azam, S. Malik, A. Ali, H. Sohail, Nawaz, H. Ali, U. Khan, S. Afridi.
India XI : R. Sharma (C), Dhawan, Rayudu, D. Karthik, Dhoni (WK), Jadhav, Jadeja, Bumrah, B. Kumar, K. Yadav, Chahal.
Prediction
I expect it to be a close game tomorrow, may the team who commits less mistakes on the night win.
