IND v PAK., 1st ODI: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first

Barely a day after imposition of Emergency, Pakistan renew their cricketing rivalry against arch-rivals India with a five-match one-day series here on Monday with two young captains leading a highly talented but unpredictable teams.
The political turmoil back home would no doubt weigh down heavily on Pakistanis' mind as they go into the first one-dayer seeking to take an early advantage in the battle of nerves and skills. The series will also be a test of character for the captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India and Shoaib Malik of Pakistan, who have shown a remarkable composure but any contest involving the traditional foes is bound to put that extra bit of pressure.
Besides, Malik will also have to manage without their pace spearhead Mohammad Asif, who pulled out of the one-day series owing to his elbow injury, and the experience of former captain Inzamam-ul Haq, who recently retired from the international cricket. India would also be without their senior batsman Rahul Dravid, their batting main stay so far who has been dropped for the first two matches of the series.
