Asia Cup: IND Elect To Bowl As Rinku Replaces Injured Pandya Against Unchanged PAK
Dubai International Stadium: Hardik Pandya misses out on playing in the high-octane Asia Cup final while Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube have been included as India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bowl first against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
The two teams are clashing in the Asia Cup final for the first time in 41 years. Both sides are meeting for the third time in the tournament, with India beating Pakistan by seven wickets in their Group A match and by six wickets in the Super Fours meeting.
Hardik had been under doubt to play in the title clash after suffering from cramps during the Super Over win over Sri Lanka on Friday. Ahead of the title clash, he wasn’t seen warming up with the team and his non-involvement is a big blow to the Indian team chasing their ninth Asia Cup title.
