DUBAI:

Pakistan captain Salman Agha said his team were ready to face India in the next round of the Asia Cup on Sunday after between the arch-rivals ended in acrimony when the Indian side refused to shake hands.

Pakistan beat United Arab Emirates in their final Group A game on Wednesday to advance to the Super Fours stage, where they will also play two teams from Group B in a round robin format.

Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been suspended since 2013 and they play each other only in multi-team tournaments.

"We are ready, we are ready for any challenge," Salman said after their 41-run victory against UAE. "We just want to play good cricket. If we play good cricket, like we have played in the last few months, I think we'll be good against any side."
