Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris is of the opinion that breaking Pakistan's opening partnership and forcing their middle order to do what they won't be wishing to do will be the key for India to upstage their arch-rivals in the marquee clash on August 28.

Sunday's clash at Dubai will see the resumption of 'greatest rivalry' in the world of cricket when India and Pakistan open their Asia Cup Group A campaign. This will also be the first meeting between these two teams after facing off in the Men's T20 World Cup last year in the UAE, where Pakistan secured a resounding ten-wicket victory over India, their first such victory in Men's World Cups.
