India Vs Pakistan Live Streaming 

Update: India wins by 6 wickets in their record chase. Kohi stars with 183 runs


India Vs Pakistan match is undoubtedly one of the biggest face offs in international cricket. Sunday provides cricket fans a superb cricketing treat when these arch rivals face each other in an interesting match. India needs to win this one to keep their hopes alive in this Asia Cup 2012. Pakistan has already made it into the finals after beating Bangladesh and Srilanka.


India faced a embarrassing defeat against Bangladesh which is a wake up call for the current World Champions. A comprehensive win against Srilanka and a loss against Bangladesh again proves the inconsistency of Indian cricket team. If India wins against Pakistan they too will have two wins under their belt and if Bangladesh beats Srilanka in the last match; things would be more interesting. If India loses against Pakistan their chances of reaching the finals are as thin as a wafer.


Sachin Tendulkar finally managed to score his 100th ton but in this process he was a bit slow to score runs. This was one of the factors that cost India the match. The most important factor that contributed to India's loss against Bangladesh was the weak Indian bowling line up. The pace attack from India is not threatening and spinners have not been very successful in Bangladesh so far.


A lot is again expected from Virat Kohli, Gambhir, Dhoni and Raina who are in good touch recently. Indian batting looks strong but they need to capitalise their good starts and try their level best to cross the 300 mark on dead flat tracks of Indian sub continent.


Pakistan would love to carry their winning momentum and they won't take India lightly. Their bonus point victory over Srilanka has boosted their confidence to the next level. They would be itching to beat India and take a revenge of the World Cup match. Their bowling department looks stronger than the India bowling line up.


Let us expect a high scoring match where the Mirpur pitch will again favour the batsmen.

Update: Sachin scores his 100th Century! Bangladesh beats India


India takes on Bangladesh at Mirpur. India won their first match against Srilanka and a win here would almost confirm their seat into the finals against Pakistan. Srilanka was defeated by Pakistan with a bonus point which takes Pakistan on the top of points table.


Bangladesh has failed to exceed expectations and they have usually under performed. They gave their best in the Asia Cup opener against Pakistan. Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan scored fifties but their efforts were in vain when others failed to contribute and they lost a match which they looked like winning till the beginning of death overs. Their bowling looked good against Pakistan. They would badly look to create an upset here and keep the series alive by beating India.


Sachin Tendulkar has been in the spotlight now for a while with regards to his 100th international century. This looks to be his easiest opportunity to achieve the record. He has never scored a century against Bangladesh in ODIs. 


Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina were impressive against Srilanka. They would love to carry their form into this match and score a big win over Bangladesh. Then it would mere be a formality to play against Pakistan before facing them again in the finals. Ravindra Jadeja was below average and now he can make way for Yusuf Pathan who could shift gears any time and increase the total score for India. He can also come in handy with his slow spin. 


Virat Kohli already has two centuries to his name against Bangladesh. Can he become the first ever India to score three centuries on the trot? Hopefully he does and creates a new record for India.

Update: Pakistan won by 6 wickets

Pakistan Vs Srilanka is the 3rd match of Asia Cup 2012 and this promises to be another nail biter. These two are one of the big three teams and both are looking for a win to stay alive in the series. Although Pakistan has a win under their belt, but wasn't a convincing one which came against Bangladesh. Srilanka on the other hand lost one to India by a margin of 50 runs. They need to win this one against Pakistan to keep their hopes alive in Asia Cup 2012.


Pakistan was saved in the end by some good bowling performances against Bangladesh. The pain area for Pakistan still continues to be their batting middle order. They had got a flying start from the openers. The strong middle order with the likes of Misbah and Younis Khan failed again to capitalise. Even Shahid Afridi couldn't trouble the scorers. Pakistan may sneak in another batsman to strengthen the batting deparment.


Srilanka has looked a promising side but they once again failed to beat India. Their batting line up is good enough to compete against Pakistani bowling attack. Srilankan bowling lacked lustre in absence of Malinga. Srilankan team misses the services of Angelo Matthews and Thisara Perara who are injured since the days of CB Series.


Pitch would continue to support the batsmen in the first half and team batting second would find it arduous to chase a target above 270. Hence the team winning the toss should elect to bat first.

Update: India wins by 50 runs


Asia Cup 2012 continues to grip more attention as India takes on Srilanka in the 2nd match. These two teams have faced each other a lot in last two years but every time they meet, cricket fans are treated with something new and exciting. The last time these two met was in CB Series where India chased 320 plus runs in less than 37 overs and this match treated us with one of the best ODI chases one must have ever seen. Srilanka went on to reach the finals of CB Series but lost it to Australia.


India defeated Srilanka in the finals of last Asia Cup and Srilanka would be itching for a revenge. These two teams play much better in the subcontinent conditions and hence they are termed to be the favourites to win this Asia Cup 2012. Srilanka has a slightly upper hand with a better bowling outfit with likes of Malinga who has been a lot unplayable at times with his yorkers. Although the Indians have tackled him better than the others but at any given day he can turn tables on the opposition.


Pakistan have started their Asia Cup campaign with a marginal win over Bangladesh and they lead the points tally. Two men worth watching in this match would be Virat Kohli and Dilshan. These two are in sparkling form and they are scoring runs at a very good strike rate. With flat subcontinent pitches they would find things easier.


Asia Cup schedule format being not as long as CB Series, any team which loses the initial match would find it arduous to make it to the finals. India and Srilanka are very well aware of this fact and hence both would strive hard to win this match at Mirpur.
