India vs Pakistan Live Score Asia Cup 2023 Live Score: Rohit Sharma Opts to Bat
In the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the Asia Cup 2023, India’s captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first in Pallekele. Pakistan chose to stick with the same playing XI as in their previous match. However, India made a change by omitting Mohammed Shami from the lineup. Shardul Thakur joined Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah in the pace department. Shreyas Iyer, who had been inactive since the India-Australia Test series earlier this year, was inserted directly into the middle order ahead of Suryakumar Yadav.
Pitch Report by Ravi Shastri: This pitch features more grass compared to the previous one used for Pakistan vs Nepal. It appears to be slow, with relatively lower bounce. Early grip and spin are possible. Achieving a score of 260-270 could be challenging on this wicket.
