(Source: File) India vs Pakistan, Ind vs Pak Asia Cup 2018: India and Pakistan once again resume their fierce rivalry in Asia Cup 2018. Having won the toss, Pakistan chose to bat first. Pakistan didn’t really get much momentum with the willow barring the third wicket stand between Shoaib Malik and Babar Azam. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kedar Jadhav picked up three wickets each to dismiss Pakistan for 162. The last time they played India, Pakistan thumped the men in blue convincingly to lift the Champions League trophy and hence Rohit Sharma and his boys will have one eye on revenge. India had a tough time in their opening Asia Cup match against Hong Kong in which the Hong Kong openers troubled Indian bowlers. India also suffered another batting collapse late down the order which will compile Sharma’s worries. Pakistan will certainly look to take advantage of that and inflict another defeat over their rivals. Will a repeat occur of 2017 Champions Trophy occur time or will the men in blue have their revenge? Before that here is all that you need to know about tonight’s high-voltage clash.

"It's been 15 months since these two teams last played each other. Both countries have stood firm on their respective diplomatic stands, with the Indian government's reluctance to allow cricket with Pakistan on home turf forcing the Asia Cup to move out to UAE. Imran Khan becoming Pakistan's prime minister has re-ignited hopes of reviving India-Pakistan matches, and the buzz in Pakistan media suggested that Imran might show up during the match as he is expected to be in the Gulf on a diplomatic tour.Imran's likely presence at the match notwithstanding, '' (passion) was the operative word for Pakistan as Sarfraz pointed out on the eve of the match.is there, you know you've to perform against India," the feisty wicketkeeper said, revealing the emotions running through his camp.It's different in the Indian camp. At least that's the impression stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma gave. He pulled out the 'we treat all oppositions equally' cliché ahead of the match against Hong Kong, which preceded the 'big one' by a day. "Obviously, it's a big match but we will think about the game only after the match against Hong Kong," Rohit said on Monday.That leaves the Indian think-tank around 16 hours to train their minds on the game, one that the fans back home hope will make amends for the defeat in the Champions Trophy final in June last year. Even if Sarfraz claimed that this match is different from that Oval final, a loss is bound to hurt the Men in Blue.Rohit side-stepped the significance of the game, but the Indians have quietly gone about preparing for Pakistan's most lethal weapon - Mohammed Amir and the battery of left-arm pacers. They have brought in a left-arm throw-down specialist to prepare batsmen for the quick left-arm bowling they are expected to play.
