    What's the story

    A belligerent-looking India will be up against arch-nemesis Pakistan in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday.

    Team India will look to avenge the 10-wicket drubbing in their last meet from the 2021 T20 World Cup.

    Virat Kohli will be raring to set the stage ablaze.

    Meanwhile, Pakistan have a few big-match players in their arsenal.

    Here is the match preview.

    Details

    Pitch report, timing, and TV listing

    The Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai will host the affair.

    The wicket will offer plenty of assistance to both batters and bowlers.

    Anything around 155-165 could be a competitive score.

    Chasing sides have won five of the last seven T20Is played here.

    The match will be telecast live on Star Sports Network (7:30 PM IST) and live-streamed on the Hotstar app (paid subscription).
