CricketIndiaPakistanSportsSports - Asia India bats first in Asia Cup showdown against Pakistan by Lucas Garcia September 2, 2023 written by Lucas Garcia September 2, 2023 0 comment Bookmark 39 In the highly anticipated Asia Cup encounter between India and Pakistan, India won the toss and opted to take the batting initiative on Saturday. Marking India’s inaugural match in the one day international tournament, this event follows Pakistan’s triumph over Nepal in the opening match. The upcoming one-day international is being hailed as a pivotal clash pitting Pakistan’s swift bowlers against India’s formidable top-order batsmen. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf are all clocking speeds exceeding 140 kmph (87 mph), while India’s potent top order showcases the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In a strategic move, India made the decision to exclude fast bowler Mohammad Shami, instead selecting Shardul Thakur to bolster their batting resources. Pakistan, on the other hand, has chosen to retain the same lineup that secured victory against Nepal in Group A. Pakistan’s lineup: Babar Azam (captain), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi. Representing India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav.
