Yup..! The much awaiting match will start with the protection of well-dressed patrols. Indo-Pak Asia Cup T20 2016 match is now on air. India won by 76 runs on their last meet on World Cup 2015 is one of the notable thing here.
India won six of their last seven matches against with Sri Lanka and Australia. So, all the Indian fans are expecting this well-performance by India on upcoming matches, especially with Pakistan. Both of the team will face each other in exactly after a year and 11 days. So, this match makes higher expectations on both of the fans from India and Pakistan. Dhoni’s back muscle spasm is one of the worries for Indians, even though he attempt his first winning match against Bangladesh. But, he has skipped his training in Fatullah on Friday, if suppose he decided to skip then, Parthiv Patel will be the back-up wicket-keeper who gets the chance to play this match.
Recently, Pakistan concluded their Pakistan Super League (PSL), and now, the players are well prepared for this Asia Cup 2016 T20 series. Umar Akmal, who was the most top run scorer on PSL with 335 runs on seven matches is really in good form. One of the best pacers, Mohammad Amir, will come back to the International cricket after five years of Ban because of spot-fixing. But, it was unknown aspect about Amir on the row of XI. If he was on playing 11, then he is a perfect corner for Pakistan in this match against India and it will be nice to see Rohit vs Amir were both are in good form.
