IND vs PAK Live Score 3rd Match: The rain spoiled the party when the match was abandoned. Pakistan set a target of 267 to chase but now both teams will share one point each. For India, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan were the star performers as both missed their well-deserved hundreds. On the other hand, the Pakistani pacers were simply outstanding with the ball, especially Shaheen Afridi, who scalped four wickets in the match, including Kohli and Rohit.
IND vs PAK Live Score 3rd Match Updates
India is all set to take on arch-rival Pakistan in the most anticipated clash of Asia Cup 2023 on Saturday, September 2. However, the clash faces considerable uncertainty as forecasts call for moderate to heavy rain in Kandy on Saturday. Rohit Sharma & Co return to ODI action after a month-long break, with their most recent match coming on August 1 when they won the series against the West Indies.
On the other hand, Pakistan began its Asia Cup 2023 campaign with a convincing victory over Nepal, winning by a huge margin of 238 runs. The IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 clash will begin at 3:00 PM IST.
KL Rahul’s absence from the group-stage matches means that Ishan Kishan will most likely make it to India’s XI against Pakistan. If he gets the nod, the 25-year-old may have to bat in the middle order, but his previous performances in that position have not been impressive, averaging 22.75 in six games. Also, the choice between Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami for the bowling department remains uncertain.
On the contrary, following a similar pattern to their Asia Cup 2023 opener against Nepal, Pakistan have once again announced their XI a day before the next match. Staying consistent with their winning strategy since the opening game, the Men in Green have decided to stick with the same lineup that secured a thumping 238-run win against Nepal on Wednesday.
