India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Live Score: India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss, and India will bat first against Pakistan at the Pallekele. Pakistan are unchanged as they declared yesterday. On the other hand, India have picked Shardul Thakur ahead of Mohammed Shami. It looks lie an interesting call as India want to extend their batting depth as much as possible. Given Thakur’s inconsistency in bowling it is a huge call as between the two it is Shami who is a better bowler across all conditions.

Pitch Report by Ravi Shastri
This pitch has more grass than the previous one, the pitch that was used during Pakistan vs Nepal. This track looks slow and bounce can be on the lower side. The ball might grip early on, you might see spin. A score of 260-270 can be challenging on this wicket.

IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 Live Score: India vs Pakistan: A match with big stakes
If you want to understand the relevance of an India vs Pakistan game to a cricketer, just listen to the following anecdotes from Sultan, Wasim Akram's memoir co-written by Gideon Haigh.
The book paints a vivid picture of the most chaotic day of Pakistan's 1999 tour to India. Sachin Tendulkar's run out after a collision with Shoaib Akhtar, the third umpire's controversial verdict going against India, chants of 'cheat, cheat', stones aimed at Pakistan fielders, early call for tea and the full-to-the-brim 1,00,000 capacity Eden Gardens resembling a tinder box ready to be ignited by flames in the stands.
