PAK vs IND Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Asia Cup 2023
Match 9 of the 2023 Asia Cup sees Pakistan take on India in the Super Fours on Sunday afternoon at the R.Premadasa Stadium. Pakistan have won their last three completed ODIs by 59 runs, 238 runs and 7 wickets with India winning their last two completed ODIs by 10 wickets and 200 runs. Read on as we preview this match. The day-night game begins at 15:00 local time in Colombo.
Pakistan have been very impressive in the 2023 Asia Cup in their two completed games so far and they will believe they were in an excellent position when the rain arrived in their last match against India.
India were not at their best against Nepal in their Group A match but they still emerged with a 10-wicket win. There is plenty of room for improvement and they are already a very strong side.

PAK vs IND Match Toss Prediction
The conditions in Colombo are not expected to change much across the game so we predict that both skippers will choose to field first in this match.
PAK vs IND Pitch Report
We saw a flat track pitch yesterday and the Indian batters were off to a good start. We are expecting the pitch to behave in the same manner today. This is going to be a high-scoring game and the par score has shifted from 280 to 300.
Colombo Weather Report
The match will resume today after rain interruption. The match could not continue even after rain stopped as the ground was filled with heavy puddles of water.
A 50-over game will resume today but the weather forecast shows overcast conditions for today as well. There are high chances of rain showers and there is no reserve day after today. The temperature will hover around 27-28°C.

PAK Team News
Babar Azam announced one change for the Pakistan XI ahead of their Super Fours clash with Bangladesh on Wednesday as Faheem Ashraf came into the team for Mohammad Nawaz. On a turning wicket in Colombo, we expect Nawaz to return to the side.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam- the 28 year old captain has hit over 5300 ODI runs in his career and made 60 in his only previous ODI appearance at this venue last month.
- Imam-ul-Haq- the left-handed opener top scored for Pakistan in their victory over Bangladesh with 78 runs from 84 balls to take them to the verge of victory.
- Haris Rauf- the pace bowler is excellent at finding the right length to bowl on a particular pitch. He comes on first change with the batters getting no rest after the opening bowlers.
- Shaheen Afridi -The tall fast bowler has become a nightmare for the Indian batting line-up. He removed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja in the last match and looked in top form with his swing and line & length.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan have been in excellent form not just in the Asia Cup 2023 but across many games in this format.

IND Team News
After missing the final group stage game against Nepal, India expect to welcome back Jasprit Bumrah to the side after he returned to the squad following the birth of his first child. Mohammed Shami will drop out to make room for Bumrah’s return.
IND Key Players
- Shubman Gill- the opener has just turned 24 years of age and has already scored 7 international centuries including at least one across all three international formats.
- Hardik Pandya- the all-rounder produced an excellent batting innings against Pakistan in the no-result but he is equally a match-winner with the ball in hand.
- Jasprit Bumrah- the quick bowler should cause plenty of problems and will get plenty of swing at this venue, particularly with the humid conditions which are forecast.
- Ravindra Jadeja - Jadeja has been a reliable and crucial all-rounder for India for a long time now. He will be a key batsman in the middle-order and can be helpful with his spin bowling on this pitch.
IND Team Form
India have won their last two completed games and they have won matches by big margins in this format over recent games.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
