Match Prediction & Analysis: Pakistan vs. India


Pakistan started off their quest to the 2023 Asia Cup with a resounding victory over Nepal in Multan. But the talk of the town is about their next game. In the explosive Group A match this Saturday in Pallekele, India and Pakistan will square off once more. The recent 3-0 victory over Afghanistan in their opening


Asia Cup match would have given Pakistan a lot of confidence. India, on the other hand, will try to get the competition off to a good start. 

SQUAD PREVIEW

Pakistan Preliminary


Pakistan's Asia Cup campaign has off to the best possible start. In Multan, Pakistan, after choosing to bat first against Nepal, they amassed a staggering 342-6 thanks to brilliant hundreds from captain Babar Azam (151 off 131 balls) and Iftikhar Ahmed (109* off 71 balls). Then, their bowlers put on yet another outstanding performance to dismiss Nepal for only 104 runs, giving them a commanding 238-run victory.




Babar Azam is in excellent shape, which is an understatement. He has always been the most reliable hitter across all formats, and he is off to a great start in the Asia Cup. Babar has participated in 12 ODIs this year, scoring 689 runs at an average of 57.41, with a strike rate of 87.10, two hundred, and six fifty-sevens.


Another player who has the potential to alter the course of the game is the opener Fakhar Zaman. In his last 10 encounters, Zaman has scored 523 runs at an average of 58.11 and a strike rate of 92.56. He also has a strong record versus India.


The danger Iftikhar Ahmed poses lower in the pecking order was demonstrated. Mohammad Rizwan is another option who ought to be able to keep the middle order stable.


The world's most dangerous fast bowling assault right now is in Pakistan. Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi have a history of being deadly on all types of pitches and will be a big threat to India's batsmen. Before the first powerplay is over, we predict they will likely remove a few top-order wickets. 


Pakistan's projected starting lineup:


Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (captain),


India In advance


As they start their journey to the ODI World Cup 2023 at home, India have a lot to prove. The Asia Cup will provide the team with an opportunity to find its rhythm and gain some momentum. Due to the numerous injuries and resting of several of their important players, India hasn't had the luxury of playing their whole roster during the past few seasons. This time, they have a potent team that fulfills the majority of the requirements. KL Rahul will be absent from the team's opening two games because he is still struggling with a strain. Ishan Kishan is most likely to join the other eleven. 


India has a potent batting lineup, as usual. Their major hitter to watch out for will once again be Virat Kohli. He has scored 427 runs in 10 ODIs at an average of 53.37, with two hundreds and one fifty, and he has been in outstanding form this year. A noteworthy performance from the legendary batsman Kohli won't be unexpected given that he averages 48.72 against Pakistan.


Rohit Sharma is a different type of batter who can impact this game. With two hundreds and six fifties, the Indian captain has averaged 51.42 against Pakistan in 16 ODIs. We anticipate Rohit to play a significant knock in this crucial match, despite his recent struggles in ODIs. 


Observe all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as well. He may be quite important down in the order with the bat, and his left-arm spin in the middle overs will undoubtedly have an impact.



For the Pakistani batting order, Kuldeep Yadav can also be problematic. With an economy of just 4.87, the left arm wrist spinner has taken 23 wickets in 11 ODIs this year. He should be able to bowl well on this wicket.


Mohammed Siraj is a reliable resource as well. He has been India's most reliable fast bowler over the past couple of seasons, taking 14 wickets at an economy rate of 4.58 in his last six games. It will be Sriraj who might be the possible fast bowling attack wrecker-in-chief for India now that Jasprit Bumrah is returning from a protracted injury layoff.


Indian team predicted to start:


Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah are the players in the captain's role.


weather circumstances

Pallekele's pitch is a classic Sri Kankan track. The pitch is excellent for batting but typically sluggish. It will be difficult for new batters to launch an attack right away. The pitch will aid spinners in turning a little bit, and the slow bounce here will hamper the batsmen.


This bog match may suffer from the effects of the rain. There may be a few strong downpours along with gloomy, humid weather. 

Venue Specifics

At Pallekele, batting first results in an average score of 248. The highest score here is 363/7, recorded in a 2018 match between South Africa and Sri Lanka. The highest run chase at this field was 314-6 by Sri Lanka against Afghanistan in 2022. A target of between 280 and 290 runs should be sought for by the team batting first.


Toss: On Saturday, Pallekele is likely to have rain. Because the chasing side will have a greater chance at the DLS target if the game is cut short due to rain, the team that wins the toss will probably choose to bat second.

Result Prediction

In recent ODIs, India has a strong record against Pakistan. In four of their previous five one-day internationals against them, they have won. Pakistan, though, is a much-improved team presently and won't be simple to beat. They will present a significant challenge to India thanks to a threatening bowling assault and a Babar Azam in the best shape of his life. On paper, The Men in Blue appears to be strong. Their issue, though, is that the squad is still in flux. They haven't played the format in a while, and many of their players are returning from injuries. The team is perhaps a little rusty, and they might have trouble stopping this ferocious tempo attack. On the other hand, Pakistan has been in Sri Lanka for the past few weeks and has developed a strong winning momentum. India may have trouble getting past the No. 1 ODI team unless Rohit or Kohli shine.
