Previewing The India-Pakistan Match, Toss Will Be Crucial

Previewing The India-Pakistan Match, Toss Will Be Cruciallatest news update,Previewing The India-Pakistan Match, Toss Will Be Crucial;ndia play Pakistan in the fourth game of the Asia Cup and the fireworks are expected to fly out of the game. India goes into the game with a lot of confidence having beaten Bangladesh rather easily, whereas Pakistan know that this is a must-win scenario for them given that the side had lost to Sri Lanka in the first game of the tournament.
India:
They will look to make the most of their batting line-up, given that they will understand that their weakness lies in their bowling. Having said that, they will also know that they are without Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar, and the batting will be a tad short on experience.
What they need is for their bowlers to come to the party a lot quicker than they did in the game against Bangladesh. The Bangladeshis were weak in their batting and could not take full toll of the wayward Indian bowling, but against Pakistan, such liberties may not be of much use.
The Indian spinners had a good first match. However, that will only make things interesting for the game, against a side which plays spin rather well. Shahid Afridi had taken on even Muthiah Muralitharan in the first game and will look to do the same against Harbhajan SinghPreviewing The India-Pakistan Match, Toss Will Be Crucial.
Pakistan:
Time for them to win this one if they want to remain in the tournament. having lost the first game to Sri Lanka, another loss here will mean that they are on zero points from two games, whereas India and Sri Lanka would have won both their games. With only one game to play, the side will be knocked out.
They need to do something to their batting or their batting order, which struggled so badly against the Lankans that it almost seemed like a club side till Shahid Afridi came to bat. What the side could do for starters is for them to shuffle their batting order and get in an experienced Shoaib Malik or Umar Akmal in the top three.
The bowling looks fine to me, and that will be the biggest battle of the game; Pakistan bowling versis the Indian batting. Any guesses on who will win?Previewing The India-Pakistan Match, Toss Will Be Crucial
