Hong Kong:

A 17 man squad has been announced for Asia Cup. They will most probably go with the same XI. Anshuman Rath, B Hayat, Nizakat Khan and C Carter will be the main batsmen.

Ehsan Khan, Aizaz Khan and S McKechnie will be key in late middle order for the team. Aizaz Khan, E Nawaz and T Afzal will be the main pacers for team while Ehsan Khan and N Ahmed will be the key spinners for them.

India:

India has declared 16 man squad for Asia Cup. Virat Kohli is rested for the series so Rohit Sharma will lead the team in his absence. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is also back after recovering from injury.

As India has consecutive matches and the second being most important against arch-rivals Pakistan so India will most probably rest its key players to keep them fully ready for the day after tomorrow’s encounter.

Rohit Sharma is a sure shot in batting department. Shikhar Dhawan or KL Rahul can open with him. KL Rahul is also confirmed and can either open or bat in middle order. Manish Pandey or Ambati Rayadu and Kedar Jadhav are other batsmen who will most probably play.

Yuzi Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will lead the spin department. In pace department, Bhuvi will lead the side.
