Asia Cup Super 4: India To Bat First Vs Pakistan; Dinesh Karthik Out, Hooda In

Dubai: India will bat first in the Asia Cup Super Four clash at Dubai on Sunday after Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl.

With allrounder Ravindra Jadeja being ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury, Team India had to make some changes and adjustments in the playing XI.

Hardik Pandya, who was rested in the match against Hong Kong after producing a match-winning performance in the first game against Pakistan, returned to the team.

Dinesh Karthik was dropped and Rishabh Pant will keep wickets. Pacer Avesh Khan made way for leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, while Deepak Hooda was also named in the XI.

India won the group league match against Pakistan by 5 wickets last Sunday.
