India will face Pakistan in the upcoming matchup in the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2023. On September 10, this crucial match is scheduled to take place at Colombo's R Premdasa Stadium.
India's participation in the tournament thus far has included two league stage matches, where they won one match and earned a second-place finish in Group A. On the other hand, Pakistan won its first match against Bangladesh to start its Super Four stage campaign.
India won the toss against Nepal in their most recent match and chose to bowl. The opening batsmen for Nepal got off to a fast start, scoring 65 runs before the first wicket was taken. However, Nepal lost wickets in short succession after the opening partnership was broken. Despite this loss, they were still able to record a respectable total of 230 thanks to some outstanding efforts near the finish of their innings. The game was cut down to 23 overs due to rain delays, and India was given a target score of 145. The Indian openers dominated Nepal and won by ten wickets with ease throughout the chase.
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat in Pakistan's last match against Bangladesh. Unfortunately, they were unable to take advantage of the favorable batting conditions and lost their top-order batsmen early. The only time they were able to put up a respectable total was during the fifth wicket stand. Rahim and Shakib made some important contributions that helped them reach a total of 193 runs. With seven wickets already in hand and more than 10 overs remaining, Pakistan easily defeated India by chasing down this mark.
India's probable starting lineup includes Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj in addition to captain Rohit Sharma.
Pakistan 's probable starting lineup includes Babar Azam (captain), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf make up Pakistan's probable starting lineup.
