The men in blue showcased their strength and made a statement by finishing the clash against the UAE in just 106 balls. They chased down the paltry target of 58 runs in just 4.3 overs and boast of a massive NRR of more than 10.
On the other hand, Pakistan are also expected to get the better of the first-timers Oman on Friday (September 12) in their opening game of the Asia Cup. However, there is more to talk about the men in green as they are turning up in a multination event without Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for the first time since 2017.
Since Mike Hesson has taken over as the head coach, the team has taken a new route in the shortest format and will be keen on putting up a good show under Salman Ali Agha.
Team News
As far as the team news is concerned ahead of the marquee clash, all the players in the India camp seem fit and available. However, there will be a discussion around the playing XI as India cannot afford to keep Arshdeep Singh out of the team. In that case, they will have to leave out either Tilak Varma or Shivam Dube from the playing XI.
As for Pakistan, their captain faced the injury scare briefly ahead of their Asia Cup opener. Salman Agha was spotted with a bandage on his neck after experiencing mild spasm but the PCB has stated that he will be fit and ready to lead Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
Match start time
The India vs Pakistan match will start at 8 PM IST with the toss scheduled at 7:30 PM IST.
