India will take on Pakistan in their first match of the Asia Cup 2023 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, September 2. Pakistan kicked off their campaign against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2023 opener and won by 238 runs.

Pakistan are likely to go with their winning combination and make no changes to it. On the other hand, there is suspense over India's playing eleven and their batting order.

Ishan Kishan is certain of playing in the absence of KL Rahul and might play at number four. Although Ishan Kishan has succeeded majorly as an opener and has also been picked in the team as the backup opener, Rohit Sharma is unlikely to tinker with the top-three of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and himself.

Due to the nature of the Pallekele pitch, their is tempatation to play an extra spinner in Axar Patel, but India could go with their three premier pacers and two spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.

India have won their last three ODI matches against Pakistan. Overall, the Men in Blue have won four of their last five ODI matches against the Men in Green. Considering India's batting strength and depth and a better set of all-rounders, Rohit Sharma and company would be hoping to make a winning start to their campaign by beating Pakistan, the current number one ranked ODI team in the world.
