Asia Cup 2023 India vs. Pakistan: While the hilly Kandy region braces for steady rain, the epic showdown between India and Pakistan remains uncertain. However, fans can still revel in the anticipation of a capacity crowd and warm hospitality.
Team India, striving to find its perfect synergy, pins its hopes on the ‘holy trinity’ of Captain Rohit, the incomparable Kohli, and rising star Shubman Gill to counter the formidable Shaheen, Rauf, and the fiery Naseem Shah. Overcast skies and a touch of chill in the air could favor Shaheen and Naseem during the opening Powerplay, adding an element of suspense to the contest.
A day ahead of the match, Pakistan declared an unchanged XI, keeping faith in the squad that dominated Nepal with a resounding 238-run victory. Pakistan posted 342 for 6, propelled by centuries from Captain Babar Azam (151) and Iftikhar Ahmed (109 not out), while Nepal was bundled out for 104, with Shadab Khan claiming four wickets.
