India vs Pakistan Live Score, Live Cricket Score of Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Today’s Match Live Updates: After a decent campaign in the group stages, wherein they might not have been flawless, but fairly comfortable, India will commence their Super Four campaign with a clean slate when they take on Pakistan today, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
In the previous meetings between these two times, the Pakistani pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf caused the Indian batters problems aplenty, bowling them out for 266.
Now, a fourth dimension will be added to their erstwhile three-pronged pace attack, with Mohammad Nawaz – the left-arm orthodox spinner who was having an underwhelming tournament – being replaced by Faheem Ashraf.
Along similar lines, there will be crucial inclusions in the Indian team as well. Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the match against Nepal to be with his family during the birth of his son, has now retired, and will be raring to make his mark. Barring him, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is also expected to make a comeback after recovering from injury, albeit, considering Ishan Kishan's scintillating form, it remains to be seen whether he is awarded a place in the team instantaneously.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Play Called Off
It's pouring heavily in Colombo again and the covers are being brought on. Looks like we are going to continue the game tomorrow from exactly where we left off at (India will start from 24.1 overs). Play has been officially called off!
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Umpires On The Mic
Chris Gaffaney and Ruchira Palliyaguruge: We have got two main issues, near square leg and point, they are quiet wet and soft. The foundation of the ground there is too soft and dangerous for the players. We are trying to dry it with fans and will have a look in another 10-12 minutes. We think we are trying our best as groundstaff, possible looking at 9pm start but we have to see how it goes. Ideally we want to get as many overs as we can for both sides, but we don't know if it is 9pm or quarter to 9. Whatever the decision we make, if it is a 34-over game for a 9pm start and it starts to rain after play resumes then we start tomorrow with the same number of overs.
