IND vs PAK Team Previews
India
India bowled very well in the match against Pakistan but its bowling looked a bit short on ideas against Hong Kong. Not having Hardik Pandya was a massive blow but he is expected to be back for this match. India is also going to be without Ravindra Jadeja for this match since he has been ruled out of the tournament with an injury.
India could replace him with Axar Patel, a like-for-like replacement that will weaken India's batting somewhat. Or, they could bring in someone like Deepak Hooda that will strengthen the batting but just weaken the bowling a bit.
Expect one or two selection surprises from India for this match.
India's bowling is a worry and a lot will depend on how Bhuvaneshwar Kumar starts. Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh have been a bit lackluster so far. Yuzvendra Chahal is dependable but he has not had the best Asia Cup so far either.
India Playing 11
Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, V Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, RR Pant, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, YS Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.
Pakistan
Pakistan demolished Hong Kong and easily made its way into the Super Four. Can it now get the better of India in this match? One of the problems for Pakistan has been the lack of intent its top order has shown. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are both very dependable in terms of run-scoring but their strike rate can make things difficult for the lower order.
Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, and Iftikhar Ahmed can all strike the ball but they have yet to prove themselves against quality bowling at the international level.
Pakistan's bowling attack is quite dangerous even though Shaheen Afridi is not present. Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shahnawaz Dahani are not the best bowling lineup you will come across but they are certainly capable of causing an upset or two.
We think Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan will be used at key intervals to try and get the better of the Indian batting.
Pakistan Playing 11
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain.
IND vs PAK Toss Prediction
The team that wins the toss will want to field first. The pitch at Dubai seems to get better for batting during the second inning. The stats show that batting second is a massive advantage in Dubai.

Pitch and Conditions
The conditions are hot and difficult for the players. That is not going to change and will in fact test the fitness of the players. Pakistan's fast bowlers struggled against India in the first match with cramps and would want to guard against that.
We think the Dubai surface is one where a score of around 170 should be seen as par. It is by no means not chaseable.

IND vs PAK Betting Tips
We are going to bet on India to win. The depth in the Indian squad is such that Ravindra Jadeja can be replaced without missing a beat. Also, we think the Indian think tank is very good with its strategies and will pull off a couple of surprises with its selections that could just trip up Pakistan. Another close match could be in store.
Bet on India to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Pakistan's opening pair is the most consistent in the world. They may not score the fastest but this bet is not about that. They are consistent and we think have a good chance of scoring more than the Indian pair. This bet came through in the first match that India played against Pakistan as well.
Khushdil Shah was the most impressive batter for Pakistan against Hong Kong and thi is why he is all but certain to get a chance to bat. He will be full of confidence and we think he could score some runs. The Over/Under line is quite favorable right now.
