Pakistan finds itself on the brink of a historic achievement. The upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, scheduled in Sri Lanka from August 22 to August 26, presents a golden opportunity.

A formidable India will be aiming to make short work of minnows Hong Kong in their Asia Cup opener Tuesday before getting battle-ready for their much-anticipated clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on Wednesday.

Rohit Sharma's 55-ball 83-run knock helped India post 166, then Ashish Nehra picked three wickets in a 45-run win.
