Asia Cup 2018: 4 factors that will determine the India vs Pakistan match

#3 Fighting fire with fire

India will be hoping to make a statement with its own bowling attack

Pakistan has always and will continue to rely on its bowling for winning games. They have an extremely potent pace attack with comeback legend Mohammad Amir and wrecker-in-chief during the 2017 Champions Trophy Hasan Ali and they will undoubtedly spearhead the Pakistani attack.

Pakistan's teen sensation Shadab Khan will add teeth to this attack with his leg spin and googlies. With a tally of 16 wickets from 11 games, he leads the wickets charts for Pakistan this year.

Perhaps for the first time ever, India's reply this time will also be with the ball. Bumrah, with his accurate yorkers, and Bhuvneshwar, with his swing, will raise serious problems for the Pakistani openers. Spin twins Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, with sensational 26 and 18 wickets each from 9 games in 2018, will be a major threat in these conditions.
