Pakistan will take on India in their second game of the Super Fours of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Sunday. The Men in Green registered a comprehensive win of seven wickets against Bangladesh on Wednesday and they will be looking to continue their good show against the arch-rivals.
India, on the other hand, was sloppy against Nepal as they didn’t take their chances in the field. India had lacked intent and they will need to pull up their socks against a formidable Pakistan outfit. However, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got the runs against depleted Nepal and it must have done them a world of good after mundane performances against Pakistan.
