IND vs PAK Live: Pitch report from Colombo!

Sanjay Manjrekar and Waqar Younis’ pitch report:

The sun is out, and there isn’t a grey cloud in the sky. The curators also watered the pitch, so that’s a sign that the weather might have changed. We’ve got a bit of grass covering on this pitch. The pitch might have a bit for the pacers with the new ball, and the spinners will get purchase because of the moisture underneath.

Grass on the pitch, that means it’s a paradise for pacers early on. Will be interesting to see how Rohit and Gill tackle Shaheen and Naseem in the powerplay.

IND vs PAK Live: Here’s what the captains said!

Rohit Sharma: Looking to bat first. There will be a challenge upfront, but the way we guys batted last time around gives us confidence. Every game is important for us, but one thing at a time to focus on. (On rain delays) That’s the nature of the sport, it gave us good time to prepare and now we’ll look to play well. Two changes – Bumrah is back and one forced change, Shreyas Iyer just got a back spasm so KL Rahul comes in for him.

Babar Azam: We will bowl first. I think there is a bit of moisture, we need to use that. Always, India Pakistan is high intensity, but we will take it match to match. As a team, we are playing well, we are focused on this one. No changes

IND vs PAK Live Score: Spasm for Iyer!

So, both Rahul and Kishan in the XI. Shreyas Iyer misses out due to a back spasm, which he suffered during warm-up. Bumrah replaces Shami as Shardul retains his place in the XI.

As a pair, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have won the Indian team a number of matches. If the duo adds 2 more runs to their partnership tally, Rohit and Kohli would become the fastest pair in the history of ODIs to breach the 5000-run mark. They presently stand at 4998 runs in 85 ODI innings.

India vs Pakistan Live: Rohit Sharma only 5 sixes shy of Asia Cup record

India captain Rohit Sharma did wonders against Nepal in the previous Asia Cup match. He would be keen to continue the same form against Pakistan.

Afridi leads the list at present, with 26 sixes to his name while Sri Lanka’s Sanath Jayasuriya is behind him with 23.
