Traditional rivals Pakistan and India meet at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur for the most-hyped Asia Cup clash on Sunday.
Pakistan, who have five points from their first two matches, are perched at the second spot courtesy their bonus-point win over Afghanistan, while India have four points through their win against hosts Bangladesh.
A defeat for either team would all but end their hopes of playing the final, with only a miraculous jailbreak and setback for Sri Lanka against lowly Afghanistan and Bangladesh a possible bailout.
