Team India and Pakistan will face off for the 134th time in ODI cricket when the two sides are up against each other in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. Out of the 133 times, the two sides have played in the past, Pakistan have won 73 times, India have won 55 and 5 matches ended in no-result – the fifth one coming on September 2 when the Asia Cup 2023 Group A match was washed out in Kandy.
Pakistan have already registered a win in the Super 4 stage – thrashing Bangladesh by seven wickets at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday. Co-hosts Sri Lanka have also posted a win in their first match of Super 4 against Bangladesh on Saturday, winning by 21 runs against Bangladesh.
Now, Rohit Sharma’s Team India desperately need to win on Sunday with the India vs Pakistan match already under the threat of rain. The MET department predicts 90 per cent chance of rain in Colombo on Sunday and as a result the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) have made a provision of reserve day for this game on Monday.
Pakistan have already announced their playing 11 with all-rounder Faheem Ashraf replacing Mohammad Nawaz from the side which faced India in the last match on September 2. India are yet to announce their final 11 but both KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah are available for selection.
