                                                            India VS Pakistan Preview – ASIA CUP 2018

​

​

​

India vs Pakistan. The most Awaited match of the Asia Cup. India taking on arch rivals Pakistan. It would be a thriller of an encounter. Both teams would have their strategies going into the game. Both teams can afford to take it lightly as both of them have already qualified by winning their first match of the tournament. But as it is a matter of an old rivalry, none of them would take it casually. Pakistan have their combinations well set, whereas quite a few members of the Indian team who have come after a long away season in England, might be unfit.

 

Here is my choice of the India playing 11 for match against Pakistan.

 

Openers: Rohit Sharma (Captain) and Shikhar Dhawan

 

Top Order: Lokesh Rahul, Dinesh Karthik/Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni (Wicket Keeper)

 

Middle Order: Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav

 

Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah (Pacer), Yuzvendra Chahal (Spinner) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Pacer)

 

Here is my choice of the Pakistan playing 11.

 

Openers: Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ul Haq

 

Top Order: Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik and Asif Ali/ Haris Sohail

 

Middle Order: Sarfaraz Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan

 

Bowlers: Mohammad Amir (Pacer), Hasan Ali (Pacer) and Usman Khan (Pacer)

 

I think some of the key battles in tomorrow’s match will be

 

Mohd. Amir vs Rohit Sharma:

It would be interesting to see India’s opener Rohit Sharma taking on Pakistan’s best left arm seamer, Mohd. Amir. Rohit Sharma who struggles against left arm seam would like to go all out on Mohd. Amir. It would be exciting to see who wins this battle.

​

Fakhar Zaman vs Jasprit Bumrah

Pakistan’s fierce opener who doesn’t have a great record against India’s lanky fast pacer Bumrah would have to navigate through his pace. It would be a fierce battle between these two good players. It would be fascinating to see who can get the better of the other. Tomorrow’s encounter would be a nail biting one.

​

Who is your favorite and who do you think will win the match tomorrow?
