Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, along with Rahul Dravid, is currently in Sri Lanka for the 2023 Asia Cup. Their opening match is scheduled for September 2 against arch-rivals Pakistan. This marks their first encounter in the continental tournament this year and their first meeting since the thrilling clash in the T20 World Cup last year, where India, riding on Virat Kohli’s exceptional batting, secured a nail-biting four-wicket victory in Melbourne. What adds to the significance of this Saturday’s match is that it will be the first India-Pakistan ODI since the 2019 World Cup.
Pakistan enters this match with momentum, having secured a dominant 238-run win over Nepal. In contrast, India recently underwent a five-day preparatory camp in Alur before their arrival in Sri Lanka earlier this week. In the ODI format this year, Team India has had a mixed performance, with victories against Sri Lanka and New Zealand but also experiencing a series loss at home to Australia in March.
The Men In Green currently hold the top spot in the ODI rankings, thanks to their impressive 3-0 clean-sweep victory over Afghanistan just before the Asia Cup. Led by the talented Babar Azam, the Pakistani team has made significant strides in the limited-overs formats.
Furthermore, under Babar Azam’s captaincy, Pakistan has seen a improvement in their standing in theIND vs PAK clashes. In the four T20Is that followed their last encounter in the 50-over format, Pakistan emerged winners twice, including a big 10-wicket win in the T20 World Cup 2021.
