Pakistan gear up for a crunch encounter at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium as they look to keep alive their chances whereas a buoyant India will look to wrap up the five-match ODI series against Pakistan when the arch rivals clash in the fourth tie of the series in Gwalior on Thursday.
India displayed excellent temperament to win the previous match at Kanpur and take 2-1 lead after failing to defend their mammoth total of 321 at Mohali and would be confident to carry forward the winning momentum at the capt Roop Singh stadium which has been a happy hunting ground for them.
With India boasting a deep batting line-up and the wicket at the predicted to be "perfect for batsmen", the task could be easier for the hosts irrespective of whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni calls the coin correctly or not in the day-night clash.
Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik looked his usual calm and composed self on the eve of the fourth ODI and did not want his team to feel the pressure before the crucial game. When asked whether Pakistan was missing a quality spinner in their ranks, Malik said "We have good spinners in our team. It's just that they are struggling a bit. Everybody goes through a bad patch and I'm sure they'll come good."
