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.

After a year Sachin hits another ton. And India again lost the match. I am just wondering what thoughts would be going thru his mind.

We can have Rohit instead of PK. Rohit, Raina, Kohli can be 5th bowler.

Its Sri Lanka dude. We need a proper bowling attack na?

DS

This is not Australia. Pitches will suit slow bowlers.
Leo

Ok. Who 5 bowlers then? Irfan opens bowling with Dinda and bowls 10 overs each. Only Ashwin left as full bowler if you bring Rohit instead of Praveen. So 20 overs btwn Kohli, Rohit, Yusuf and Raina? Is that a good option against Lankans?
