Match Preview

After a whirlwind tournament that started 15 days ago, we have the top two teams, India and Pakistan, who will fight for the ultimate prize on Sunday.

India has been clinical throughout the series and is the only team that is undefeated so far. As a result, they have made it to the finals for the fourth time in the last five editions and will look to defend the finals.

The last time Pakistan won the Asia Cup was back in 2012. Since then, they have reached the finals twice, but glory has eluded them. Their form this year has been far from perfect as well. Nevertheless, they will look to put everything behind them and come here with a fresh mind and with a hunger to win against their arch-rivals, especially after being humiliated by them twice in this tournament.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch in Dubai seems to have improved for the batsmen over the last few matches. The previous match played here on Friday saw an aggregate of more than 400 runs being scored. We are expecting another good batting track for this match. The surface is flat and hard, offering good pace and bounce.

The seamers can expect some swing with the new ball, but once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier. The team batting first will look to score at least 180 runs to put the opposition under pressure.

The weather remains clear, with temperatures expected to stay around 32 degrees.

IND vs PAK Fantasy Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Sahibzada Farhan has been the top performer for Pakistan with the bat and is one of the top choices. We are also selecting Sanju Samson and Mohammad Haris as they have played some good knocks throughout the series.

Batters

Tilak Varma played an excellent knock in the previous match and made it to our team. We are also selecting Shubman Gill as he is among the most experienced batsmen in the Indian squad.

All Rounders

Abhishek Sharma has been in a purple patch in this tournament and is the top choice. We are also selecting Shivam Dube and Saim Ayub, as they have bowled well in this tournament.

Bowlers

Kuldeep Yadav is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and is an obvious choice. We are selecting Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf as our new ball pair, while Abrar Ahmed comes in as the second specialist spinner.

IND vs PAK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Abhishek Sharma is our choice as the captain of the team. He has been in brilliant form at the top of the order and has scored three consecutive half-centuries. He can also play the big shots with ease.

Vice-Captain

We are nominating Shaheen Shah Afridi as the vice-captain of our side. He has bowled well in the last couple of matches and has also played a couple of good cameos to help his team reach the finals.

IND vs PAK Team Expert Advice

The pitch in Dubai has gotten easy to bat on, as seen in the last couple of games, and that reflects in our playing XI. We have included plenty of batsmen who can play the big shots and score bonus points. That said, the bowlers could still hold the key, and we have tried to select a balanced attack for this match, giving equal opportunities to seamers and slower bowlers.
