IND vs PAK LIVE SCORE:
IND vs PAK LIVE SCORE: Having won the toss, India’s captain Rohit Sharma decided to bat against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 match in Pallekele. In the seam department, India has fielded Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah rather than Mohammad Shami. The fourth seamer will be Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will handle the spin. At the number four spot in the lineup, Virat Kohli will bat. Pakistan, on the other hand, has chosen not to change the formula for success.
Senior professionals Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who will aim to go big considering the occasion, will be the focus for India. In the 50-over format, Rohit has been India’s most formidable opponent, particularly while against Pakistan. In the last five ODIs, he has hit three 90-plus runs against Pakistan, two of which turned into hundreds. On the other hand, Kohli would wish for yet another memorable performance when playing the neighbors. When the two teams last faced off, it was in Australia for the T20 World Cup last year, he came out on top.
Shreyas Iyer is also making his comeback in this game after a protracted injury layoff. With Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Shah Afridi leading their pace department, Pakistan also boasts a potent lineup. Their captain Babar is their backbone in the batting order, having scored 151 against Nepal in the previous game. In addition to him, Mohammad Rizwan will be Pakistan’s important batsman. Iftikhar Ahmed, who scored an undefeated century in the previous game, is already one of their reliable finishers.
