Asia Cup 2018: India's predicted playing XI for the final

Seamers: Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah

The seamers have owned the death owers in the tournament

Bhuvneswar Kumar's place in the XI was severely questioned after an uninspirational day against Hong Kong. He then gave a slap to all his doubters through his Man of the Match performance against Pakistan. Since then his lines have been tight and hasn't been interested in gifting freebies.

The number one ODI bowler has been breathing fire in the tournament. He was very disciplined and constantly became the villain for the opposition teams in the death overs. His merciless accuracy and timely variations have made him a treasure for India in the ongoing tournament.

If the seamers assist the spinners well, then the odds of India retaining the Cup is sky-high.
