Pakistan to take on India in Asia Cup today

Pakistan will face India in their 3rd one day international cricket match of Asia Cup today (Sunday) in Mirpur.

Pakistan go into the high-voltage clash with a clean chit, having beaten the hosts Bangladesh and the Lankans in their two previous matches.

It's a must-win match only for India as Pakistan have already booked a place in the final. 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.
