India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2012 Preview:
An year on since that epic World Cup semi-final in Mohali, India and Pakistan are set to face off again, having nailed in their tents this time at Mirpur – venue for their Asia Cup clash. But unlike their last battle – when it was a knockout for both the teams – it's a must-win match only for India as Pakistan have already booked a place in the final.
The euphoria of Sachin Tendulkar's hundredth century was snuffed out by Bangladesh on Friday, who chased down a 290-run target to inflict a five-wicket defeat on the visitors. That loss, which followed a victory over Sri Lanka, has put India in almost a knockout situation against Pakistan on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Pakistan go into the high-voltage clash with a clean chit, having beaten the hosts and the Lankans in their two previous matches. Those wins earned them a top spot in the points table, with a bonus point, and hence an entry into the final.Batting has never been a worry on the docile subcontinent tracks, as evidence by the totals of 304 and 289 achieved by the World Champions so far. Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Tendulkar have a century each under their belt. And the success of top-order has allowed the likes of Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni up the ante at the death with wickets in hand.
However, the lower middle order hasn't had much of a hit. After being not required against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja faced just 9 and 8 balls respectively against Bangladesh coming in to bat after the 45th over. So that should allow Rohit to keep his place in the top six.But conceding 85 runs in the last 10 overs against Bangladesh is a big worry for Dhoni. Irfan Pathan went for 61 in 9 overs and Ashok Dinda was plundered for 38 in his 5.2 overs. Praveen bowled well until the penultimate over of the chase, in which he leaked 13 runs to end up with a spell of 3 for 56.
So Dhoni must be weighing his options, which are far and few in this squad. The pressure that a Pakistan match brings with it also has to be considered, for you need skills and experience in equal measure against your archenemy.In that scenario, Vinay Kumar, who sat out on Friday with a niggle, could be the only change in the team. He should replace Dinda. Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin should remain the two spinners in the XI, with Irfan Pathan filling up as a bowling all-rounder.Pakistan, on the other hand, are sitting pretty – with a chance to try out youngsters before the big final. But given the enormity of a match against India, not many changes are expected in their XI as well.
Mohammad Hafeez, Naseer Jamshed, Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Akmal have all scored a half-century each in the tournament so far. However, old guard Younis Khan has failed in both the matches so far. So Pakistan will be keen that their experienced No. 3 rises to the occasion and strikes form in this big clash.In bowling, Umar Gul and Aizaz Cheema (five wickets each so far) have bowled well with the new ball and at the death. Their leading spinner Saeed Ajmal – who also has five wickets against his name - has been difficult to get away and will remain the biggest challenge for the in-form Indian batsmen. Shahid Afridi has been his fluent self with the leg-spinners but hasn't fired with the bat so far, having scored a nought against Bangladesh. Due for a cameo, he remains a threat for India.
So if anything, Pakistan may bring in Asad Shafiq in place of Hammad Azam as the only change in their XI from the last match against Sri Lanka.An Indian victory will not only take them virtually into the final but also shut the door on Sri Lanka, who have so far lost both their matches. But if India lose and then Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh, then all three will be on four points, leaving the net run rate to decide the second finalist.
Probable XI:
India: Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Irfan Pathan, R Ashwin, Vinay Kumar, Praveen Kumar.
Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema.

Yusuf Pathan sends one out of Bangalore, India v Ireland, Group B, World Cup 2011, Bangalore, March 6, 2011
Will Yusuf Pathan make his comeback count?
Big Picture
Another ODI between India and Sri Lanka. Before you cringe in disgust, the mitigating factor in favour of the latest match is that it is not part of another hastily arranged bilateral series. The teams have no option but to meet once, at the least, in the Asia Cup.
One silver lining, if it can be called that, for India on the disaster that was their recent tour of Australia was their performance against Sri Lanka in the Commonwealth Bank series, which culminated in that record chase led by Virat Kohli in Hobart. Out of four meetings between the two sides, India won two and tied another.
India know that will count for little; Hobart and Mirpur are two different worlds as far as conditions are concerned. For the record, they are the defending champions in this tournament. India go into this series with several questions to answer. Among them is the role and future of Sachin Tendulkar in the ODI side. At least the rotation policy at the top of the order that was employed in Australia has become dormant for the moment with no Virender Sehwag in the squad.
The middle order comes with its list of young batsmen with much to prove. Are Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma the men who will perform for India in the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand? Their presence in the squad shows that the selectors believe they will; the Asia Cup in Bangladesh, unfortunately, is not the place for them to prove they can.
In a way, India are in a cannot-win situation. If they do well in this tournament, it will be said that they are back to doing what they are best at - making merry on flat subcontinent pitches. If they do not, the talk will be that if they cannot do well even in these conditions …
Sri Lanka are in a much better position. This was not a statement you could have made before the CB series. What a difference the change of captain has made. Under Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sri Lanka looked rudderless and stagnant. Under Mahela Jayawardene, they seem to have found their way again. What's more, Dilshan has rediscovered himself as a batsman too.
Jayawardene has said that his appointment is short-term and his immediate goal is to make Sri Lanka win again. He started well in the CB series with Sri Lanka narrowly losing out in the finals to Australia. Back in familiar conditions, and considering how rusty Pakistan and India have looked in ODIs recently, Sri Lanka will go in to the tournament as favourites.

In the spotlight
Ravindra Jadeja usurped the spinning allrounder's position from Yusuf Pathan last year. Yusuf then missed most of the domestic first-class season with an injury. He is now back in the squad in place of Sehwag. The jury is still out on which of the two players is better suited to the No. 7 position. While Jadeja is easily the better fielder and bowler, Yusuf is streets ahead in his ability to turn a game with his batting. Who will win this round of the fight for No. 7? The conditions might just work in favour of Yusuf.
The version of Lasith Malinga on show in the CB series was not the accurate stump-shattering one the world has come to know. It was surprising to see him send down so many full tosses as he consistently failed to get the yorkers on target. When he tried other lengths, he did not have the same venom. Malinga will be smarting from the way Kohli toyed with him in Hobart. Will the yorkers come out firing in Mirpur?
Pitch and conditions
There was some grass on the Mirpur pitch for the opening game between Bangladesh and Pakistan but it could not alter the usual slow nature of the surface much. The ball did come on to the bat better in the evening, but Misbah-ul-Haq said that was due to some dew. Bowling first in the subcontinent is usually not a popular option; it might not be a bad one in Mirpur.
Teams
Upul Tharanga was dropped and then returned way down the order in Australia with Jayawardene partnering Dilshan at the top. Tharanga responded with two half-centuries. How will Sri Lanka use him in the Asia Cup?
Sri Lanka: 1 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Upul Tharanga/Thisara Perera, 8 Seekkuge Prasanna, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Sachithra Senanayake
Will Manoj Tiwary finally get a game? How long will he have to wait for his chance? Will Tiwary's Bengal team-mate Ashok Dinda, who has had an outstanding domestic season, make the XI?
India: 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja/Yusuf Pathan 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 R Ashwin, 10 & 11 two out of Praveen Kumar/Vinay Kumar/Ashok Dinda
Stats and trivia

  • Since the beginning of 2008, India and Sri Lanka have faced off 38 times, nearly double the number of ODIs played between Australia and England, who have played 20 matches 
  • India and Sri Lanka have played each other six times in Bangladesh with Sri Lanka winning on four occasions Quotes
    "International cricket is such that you have to adapt very quickly mentally and physically, so no complaints."
    Mahela Jayawardene knows he cannot do anything about a schedule that gives Sri Lanka four days between games in Adelaide and Mirpur
