India will encounter their fierce rivals Pakistan for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on September 10.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan’s tremendous fast bowling attack, studded with Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, dazzled the valiant batting top order of Men in Blue when they met at the group stage previously. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya stood tall and took their side to a respectable total of 266, but eventually, the match was abandoned due to heavy rain.
As far as the Super 4 stage is concerned, Pakistan comfortably won their first game against Bangladesh by seven wickets. On the other hand, India will play their first Super 4 stage match against Pakistan on Sunday.

R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
R. Premadasa Stadium’s pitch traditionally favours spinners, although it also benefits batters due to its quick outfield and comparatively tight boundaries. Chasing on this surface is rather challenging, but considering the weather, the toss winner is likely to go with bowling first, considering that the DLS factor will play a significant role if rain disrupts the match. The average first-innings score on this venue is 232.
