Pakistan will be going in for the Sunday’s clash with the same XI they put up against Bangladesh in their first game of the Super Fours stage.
In the previous group game against India, that ended in a no result due to rain, Pakistan’s pace trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah bagged all 10 wickets for the first time in the Asia Cup history.

Skipper Babar will once again back his deadly pace trio to deliver against the high-profile India batting order.
“I am proud of my pacers. We dominate everyone. Big matches and tournaments are won by fast bowlers. I have my belief in them. The secret behind their success is that they stay united and have belief in themselves. If one does not have a good day, the other one steps up and covers up for it,” said Babar in the pre-match press conference.
