Asia Cup 2018, India vs Pakistan, LIVE Cricket Score, 5th ODI: Clinical India register emphatic eight-wicket win over Pakistan

Follow all the live action from Dubai where India play Pakistan in game five of the 2018 Asia Cup.

For the first time since 2006, India and Pakistan will clash in an ODI in the UAE. Hard to believe?

Such have been the frostiness of the relationship between the two teams that bilateral cricket has ceased, and the only times India meet Pakistan nowadays is in ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup. Match five of the 2018 Asia Cup pits Sarfraz Ahmed’s team against Rohit Sharma’s side, the first time the two opponents are meeting since the final of the ICC Champions Trophy in June 2017.

Pakistan warmed up perfectly for this high-octane encounter a few days ago by thrashing Hong Kong by eight wickets, while yesterday India just about managed to scrape their way to the finish line with a 26-run win over the Associates team.
