Big Match of Asia Cup India Vs Pakistan Will Be Played On 2nd March 2014

I am one of those persons who hardly miss any Cricket match and this is happening since my childhood but like any other cricket fan whenever Pakistan and India plays against each other the emotions goes high, heart beat increases, passion goes up. When these two historic rivals plays against each other it becomes more a war than sports. Pakistan and India will also be facing each other In Asia Cup.

Both teams will take on each other in the sixth match of the tournament on 2nd March In Mirpur Stadium Bangladesh. Dhoni and Misbah Eleven will try hard to defeat the opponent in the fifty over game. the games of between these two rivals are always 50% 50% and any team who plays well on the day can win it.

Pakistan's strong point will be bowling like always but their batsmen can also perform well because Indian bowling is not much strong. On other hand India's strength will be batting. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, M.S Dhoni,  Shikhar Dhawan will try to go hard at Pakistani Bowlers right from the start.

If Mohammad Irfan and Umar Gul will be part of Pakistani squad then the strength of Pakistani bowling will increase even more because spinners like Saeed Ajmal, Professor and Boom Boom are already there to take down the opponent batting line.
