Danish Kaneria spooks India ahead of Asia Cup final

Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria warns India against underestimating their rivals before Sunday's Asia Cup final at Dubai International Stadium. The ex-cricketer told IANS that India's fielding and middle-order batting remain problematic despite their status as tournament favorites. Kaneria compared current standards to Virat Kohli's leadership period when fitness and fielding excellence separated India from opponents. He emphasized that defensive lapses could provide Pakistan opportunities to exploit.

The match marks the first India-Pakistan final across 17 Asia Cup editions spanning four decades. Action begins at 8 PM IST with SonyLIV providing streaming coverage while Sony Sports networks handle television broadcasts. Suryakumar Yadav leads India's 15-member squad with Shubman Gill serving as vice-captain. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha heads a roster featuring experienced players like Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman.
