India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Result Prediction

hyderabad: The most anticipated clash in international cricket, India versus Pakistan, is on the horizon this Sunday (Sept. 10).

After a gap of almost a year (October 23, 2022), India and Pakistan meet in international cricket. This time the stage is the Asian Cup. This is the second meeting between the two teams in this tournament. However, the clash on September 2 was fruitless as rain played a spoilsport role.

The next meeting will be part of the Super Four phase of the tournament. A victory for either team will increase their chances of qualifying for the Asian Cup final. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are part of the Super Four stage. These four teams will face each other in a round-robin format with the teams with the most points reaching the final.

Going into this clash, Pakistan is the slight favourite. The team led by Babar Azam has a more established appearance, and few surprises are expected in the eleven. On the other hand, India will look to ease the entry of speed trader Jasprit Bumrah and mid-level batsman Shreyas Iyer into international cricket as the two return from a rest spell.

Also, Pakistani bowlers have shown good form in this tournament.

The weather forecast for the day in Colombo, where the match will be played, is not rosy. The weather portals AccuWeather, BBC Weather and Weather.com all predict rain. In case the match is lost, India and Pakistan will share one point each.

The XI planned for India

Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Pakistan’s expected XI

Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf.
