Rohit Sharma’s Team India will begin their campaign in the Asia Cup 2023 on Saturday with a clash against neighbours and arch-rivals Pakistan at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy on Saturday. India have won four out of the last five ODIs played between the two sides – including two in Asia Cup 2018 (when it was played in ODI format).
However, the last match between the two sides was played back in 2019. India will have plenty of changes in their line-up since their last ODI match against West Indies in June. Shreyas Iyer will be back from injury for the first time since March 2023 while Jasprit Bumrah will be playing his first ODI match in almost a year now.
Babar Azam’s Pakistan have decided to play with the same Playing 11 which thrashed Nepal in the opening match of Asia Cup 2023 by 238 runs in Multan. Skipper Babar is in sensational form, smashing only the second 150-plus score in Asia Cup history. He also became the fastest batter reach 19 ODI centuries.
There is however, threat of rain over the contest with chances of showers in Kandy from morning to mid-afternoon. There is a possibility that the toss and the start of match might be delayed due to rain as well.
