Asia Cup 2023 Live Score, IND vs PAK Match Today: India will take on Pakistan in their first Super Four match with weather likely to play spoilsport again.
India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Live Score: Forget the battle between Pakistan’s fearsome pace attack vs India’s top order, all the eyes will be on the skies again as the two arch-rivals clash in the Super Four at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. There is uncertainty if there will be a full contest this time as the met office predicts thunderstorms and rain from late Saturday night through the whole of Monday.
For a tournament that is being played just five weeks before the World Cup, it was supposed to be a dress rehearsal. More so for a team like India that is planning to use the Asia Cup to assess where three of their key players – Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer – who are returning from long injury layoffs
With only three more ODIs left before the World Cup, time is running out for Rohit Sharma & Co. In the two matches they have played so far, the one against Pakistan was washed out while the one against Nepal was a rain-curtailed fixture. These is a far from ideal situation for a team that desperately needs matches to figure out its best XI.
