India embark on a 3 game group stage to face their Asian friends (or not!) in the once-in-two-years tournament, The Asia Cup. All matches taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur, Bangladesh.

 

India will face:

  1. Sri Lanka (again) on March 13, Tuesday. / Ind won by 50 runs
  2. Bangladesh (hosts) on March 16, Friday. | Ind lost by 5 wickets
  3. Pakistan (arch-rivals) on March 18, Sunday.  | Ind won by 5 wickets

 

And if they end up top two, they'll be in the finals. Can the Men in (Light)Blue put up a solid performance? They are the defending champions of the tournament, having won the last edition in 2010.

 

The squad: MSD (capt), V.Kohli (vc), S.Tendulkar, S.Raina, Rohit Sharma, G.Gambhir, M.Tiwary, Y.Pathan, I.Pathan, R.Jadeja, R.Ashwin, Rahul Sharma, P.Kumar, R.V.Kumar, A.Dinda

 

20-3-2012: India are now out of the tournament. 

 

22-3-2012: Bangladesh v/s Pakistan in the finals.
