Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl against India in a blockbuster Super Four clash in the Asia Cup 2023 on Sunday. The threat of rain looms large over the 50-over contest, a prelude to their big clash in the upcoming ODI World Cup, but sunny weather greeted the two captains in the middle at the R. Premadasa Stadium in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo. 

While Pakistan named an unchanged team from their win over Bangladesh in the Super Four opener, India skipper Rohit Sharma named two changes for the match, with fit-again KL Rahul coming in place of injured Shreyas Iyer, and Jasprit Bumrah returning to the playing XI after the birth of his first child.
