# Pakistan have won the toss and opted to bat first.
Both the sides will compete for the second time in the tournament. India had outclassed Pakistan to win convincingly by 8 wickets with 21 overs in hand. Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kedar Jadhav had wrecked the Pakistani batting line-up, restricting them to a below-par total of 162. In response, openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan got India off to a solid start against the seam-heavy Pakistan side.
India continued their dominant show against Bangladesh in their first super-four match. A clinical performance by comeback man Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar reduced Bangladesh to 173 runs. Rohit Sharma continued to lead from the front, scoring another classy half-ton (83 off 104 balls) and steering India to a 7-wicket victory with 82 balls to spare.
After edging past Afghanistan with a 3-wicket win, Pakistan look to avenge their loss to India. Pakistan have come back to beat India in the past and would have done their homework against India’s probing spinners, part-timer Kedar Jadhav in particular.
