India and Pakistan are all set to run into each other for one more time at the Asia Cup 2018 when the two sides play each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday, September 23, 2018.

The match will be starting at 4:30 PM PST, 5:00 PM IST.

Pakistan 71/3

Toss: Pakistan, bat first.

India won the previous game against Pakistan in the group stages by 8 wickets earlier this week. The two teams will now play each other with a place in the Final at stake. Both the teams opened their accounts in the Super Four round after winning their first games respectively and another win would almost secure them a spot in the Final on September 28.

India likely to have a spinner heavy lineup again

Ravindra Jadeja replaced the injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya in the Bangladesh game and returned with figures of 4-29 from 10 overs. As per reported by Cricbuzz, Jadeja will continue to play the all-rounder's role in the side for this game as well. India is unlikely to make any changes to the setup which comprehensively defeated Pakistan and Bangladesh in the previous two games.

Pakistan and their selection concerns

Pakistan has a few decisions to make after they nearly lost their previous game against Afghanistan.

Shaheen Afridi made his debut and was impressive, but Mohammad Amir sitting on the bench has a good record against India.

According to Cricbuzz, it is still not sure whether Shadab Khan is fit to play the game or not.

If he manages to get fit in time, what would be Mohammad Nawaz's fate, who got three wickets in the game?

Alongside this, Pakistan had also made a brave call dropping Faheem Ashraf and playing an extra batsman instead, but seemed like the experiment didn't bring a great deal of success for them. With all these questions, Pakistan will up against India for the second time in the week.

There is nothing new to say about the pitches in Dubai. They have been slow, grippy and difficult to get big scores on. The India vs Pakistan round 2 is expected to be a competitive game, if not a high-scoring one. The temperatures in the afternoon will be above 40 degrees while it is expected to go down with the sun setting.
