India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2023: Showers in Pallekele ahead of Pakistan’s chase of 267

Ishan Kishan (82) and Hardik Pandya (87) helped India to 266 after Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf caused havoc early in the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 group stage encounter in Pallekele on Saturday.

Afridi was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan, taking four wickets, while Rauf and Naseem Shah both took three in a first-ever occurrence of pacers taking all ten wickets in an Asia Cup game. Earlier in the tournament, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first.

Pitch Report by Ravi Shastri

This pitch has more grass than the previous one, which was utilised during Pakistan's match against Nepal. This track appears to be slow, with a modest bounce. The ball may grip early on, and you may notice spin. On this wicket, a score of 260-270 can be difficult.
