The revitalised rivalry between India and Pakistan will be played out again in a day-night encounter for the record prize money of 100,000 dollars in Abu Dhabi on May 14.
The oil-rich emirate has stumped up the highest stake for the one-day Sheikh Zayed Cricket Cup at the new 20,000-capacity Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Sourav Ganguly will lead a near full-strength Indian XI against a Pakistan team captained by Inzaman ul-Haq, according to Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak al-Nahyan, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Cricket Control Board and United Arab Emirates minister for higher education.
The 50-overs game will not be an official one-day international.
Meanwhile Gulf News reported that International Cricket Council officials were expected to visit Dubai next week for talks on relocating the ICC headquarters to the booming emirate.
