INDIA-PAKISTAN PROMISES TO BE A BATTLE FOR FIRST AMONG EQUALS

THE 3-0 clean sweep of Afghanistan meant Pakistan leapfrogged Australia to achieve the No 1 ranking in ODIS a few days back.

Given their numero uno status, they should have been the favourites in their Asia Cup match against India, who are placed two rungs below them in the ranking chart, here at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka. But things cannot be that straightforward when the two arch-rivals meet. On the contrary, the contest, scheduled to begin on Saturday afternoon, seems to be an even-steven affair irrespective of the teams' recent form and their rankings.

India captain Rohit Sharma admitted Pakistan have been in prolific form of late and credited Babar Azam and Co. for playing consistent cricket over the years.
