Arguably, cricket’s greatest rivalry will take the centre stage on Saturday when India and Pakistan clash at the Pallekle Cricket Stadium. India and Pakistan are also the two top contenders to win tournament and their meeting is perhaps one of the most anticipated clashes of the year.
Pakistan are coming off a huge victory over Nepal in the opening match of the tournament. Babar Azam led his side from the front, scoring 151 runs alongside Iftikar Ahmed who scored an unbeaten 109.

But Pakistan’s main weapon is their fast bowling trio of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf who all can clock high 140 kmph and can move the ball.
India, on the other hand, are also not lagging and have a world class bowling attack of their own. With Jasprit Bumrah back in the squad, India’s bowling looks stronger.
India has key players making their returns in this Asia Cup alongside Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer will most likely make his return giving the Indian middle order stability. But Rohit Sharma-led side will miss the services of KL Rahul still as the wicketkeeper-batter is still not fit enough to play.
