DUBAI – In the second match of the Asia Cup T20 Super Four stage, India won the toss and chose to field first against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium. Andy Pycroft is officiating as the match referee.
Tensions between the two nations have intensified due to a handshake controversy and a political statement made by Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav after the previous game. Earlier in the group stage, India had defeated Pakistan by seven wickets.
