Rohit Sharma’s India, on the other hand, will be playing their first match of the Asia Cup 2023 tournament. India have won four out of the last five ODIs played against Pakistan – the only defeat coming in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final.


However, Pakistan are the No. 1 team in ODI cricket at the moment and Team India can’t take them lightly. This will be the first India vs Pakistan ODI since 2019 Cricket World Cup. While Pakistan have already announced their Playing 11 for the clash, India have a lot to ponder over their final 11.


Shreyas Iyer and Jasprit Bumrah are coming back from injuries and have not played ODI cricket for a long time now. India will also consider whether to play all-rounder Shardul Thakur as the third seamer in place of Mohammed Shami with Mohammed Siraj set to partner Bumrah with the new ball.
