Pakistan announce playing XI for India clash in the Asia Cup

COLOMBO: Pakistan on Saturday announced their playing XI for the Super Four stage clash with archrivals India in the Asia Cup, retaining four pacers to trouble the India top-order like they did in the rain-abandoned Group Stage match a few days back.

The Pakistan team management decided to retain the same side that defeated Bangladesh in the Super Four stage opener for Sunday's clash with India at the R. Premadasa Stadium here.

Faheem Ashraf, who did not play the group match against India but turned out against Bangladesh, was re-tained in the playing XI.

Besides Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Faheem Ashraf will comprise the pace battery in the side led by Babar Azam. IANS
