Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav maintained his side's no-handshake policy with Pakistan during the toss of the high-octane Super Four Asia Cup clash on September 21. 

Meanwhile, India won the toss and opted to field in their first Super Four match in Dubai.

Speaking after winning the toss, Suryakumar said that the heavy dew during training on September 20 influenced his decision to field first. 

"We'll bowl first. Looks a nice track and yesterday there was dew. Since the first round we were thinking we're playing a knockout tournament, nothing changes. That was a completely different wicket (in Abu Dhabi). Quite normal, just another game. Bumrah and Varun come back for Arshdeep and Harshit."
