India had a terrific start, both opening batters were hammering the ball everywhere on the ground. Rohit Sharma started very shaky, at one point he had only 10 runs after facing 24 balls. Gill on the other end was too agressive in the meantime and was taking care of the scoreboard. Then Rohit too become agressive but got out because of beautiful catch taken by faheem. Gill followed him with a lose shot.
Pakistan is back in the position to take control of the match. The wicket is not helping the bowlers at the moment. Virat is out batting and if he continues then it won't be easy for Pakistan. They would be focusing in getting his wicket from now on.

India though struggling on most balls is hitting boundaries here and there relieving pressure and keeping the run rate above 6. If Pakistan won't be able to take a couple of wickets till 20th over, they'd be seeing a target around 300.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to field because of the pitch condition and they were not able to grab the opportunities offered by India in the earlier stages and now India went on to score a century partnership, but now they have lost their openers in quick succession, Pakistan needs to contain the run flow, if not India will score above 330 runs and probably win the match. India though struggling on most balls is hitting boundaries here and there relieving pressure and keeping the run rate above 6. If Pakistan won't be able to take a couple of wickets till 20th over, they'd be seeing a target around 300.
Pakistan vs India third match of Super Four will be played today, Pakistan has decided to bowl the opening and India will bat. Today's match is a must win match for Indian team, today is India's first Super Four match so they will try hard enough to win the match. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have equal points in the table points and they are at the top whereas if India does not win today's match then they will have zero points. And today's match between India and Pakistan is sure to be a tight one as both teams are strong enough so it is very difficult to say which team will emerge victorious. However, if Pakistan can provide good bowling today, India's batsmen will definitely be under pressure and will not be able to score too many runs. We have seen earlier that India lost the Asia Cup match against Pakistan so if Pakistan can play well today then they can beat India in today's match. But Indian team will not give up so easily today because they have to win the match today or lose points so Indian batsmen will try enough to increase the runs today.
Match have begun and as expected Rohit Sharma have begun to struggle against the lead bowler of Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi. 1st over ended with a six. First four overs is going to be real struggle for Indian team. If the match have been conducted in Pakistan or India, the ground could've been packed with the audience. The ground is empty.Today's India vs Pakistan would be preview for the final match. It doesn't necessarily would be indicative of the definite winner for the finals or a better team but we would see what's their pros and cons are and how they handle the pressure.

The ground is empty.Indian both openers prepared well for Pakistan best bowler Shaheen shah afridi. Shubnam gills is in full attack mode and boundaries are coming for shubnam gill. Today gill batting is totally different from previous and look like he is easily read the Afridi and playing where he want to play. Naseem shah bowling is impressive, the pitch is in the favor of him. he is bouncing the ball and Sharma is looking in the trouble to face naseem shah. These two batsmen are very dangerous. Pakistan need breakthrough here otherwise we will see 300 + score because lots of batting is still back after these two.

Pakistani Captain Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in the Super Four game of the Asia Cup 2023 at Colombo. India made 2 changes in the squad Jasprit Bumrah and Kl Raul in playing 11 and Pakistan playing with same against Bangladesh with 4 pace bowlers. The previous group-stage match between Pakistan and India was called off due to Rain. India all out in score of 266 in 48overs. Pakistan bowlers showing great performance early pickup wickets Shaheen Shan Afraid, Haris Rouf and Naseem Shah. In today match I think Pakistan will win because they have quality fast bowlers but India have also good batting line. I hope today we see a full result match.
KL Rahul walks into the Playing XI without any fuss and an excuse is Iyer is struggling with back spasms 
. The dude surely has everyone's controversial pictures, including selectors, Dravid, Rohit and even Kohli.
Having said that, he's batting in the middle order so it should be fine as he did perform quite well there, fingers crossed lol.

Just checked the betting odds, Pakistan are the favourite for theis match. As far as I have seen the match between these two teams are always unpredictable. It is always a pressure match and the team that is able to cope it wins the match. Current performance of the Indian team is not at it's best. They are seen struggling with bowling and batting. The opening batting pair looked clueless in the first match with Pakistan.
While Pakistan bowling attack has been all around. Every bowler in this team has taken wickets and have been precise with the line and length. Their batting looks a little bit shaky but the lower middle order has always come to the rescue. It won't be easy for the Indian team to defeat them. Above all I hope that the rain should not interrupt this match.

India VS Pakistan
This would be the second time that these two teams will be facing each other this year and in this tournament. Pakistan is a far better team than the Indian team. They have been excellent in both batting and bowling, although the fielding is not up to the mark. India has been struggling both in bowling and batting. In the last match against Nepal, they were bowling like a bunch of amateurs who were trying to play in gully crickets. They batted really well against a weak bowling side but were struggling when they played against Pakistan. I think Pakistan has a better chance of winning today's match still the level of uncertainty is always a factor that plays an important role against these two teams.
Whenever there is a match between India and Pakistan , there is a frenzy before starting the match .The same question is Begin raised everywere that which team has the heaviest weight.But before that it is important to know who is the King of Asia. I think Pakistan performance in the Asia Cup this time has surprised everyone because they are winning the match by releasing their performance in a different way in every match. And Pakistan will win this match against India too . This would be the second time that these two teams will be facing each other this year and in this tournament. Pakistan is a far better team than the Indian team. They have been excellent in both batting and bowling, although the fielding is not up to the mark.

Pakistan will face arch-rivals India in the high-voltage match of the Asia Cup Super Four in the afternoon. But before such an important match, the man in green got a big bad news. Australia topped Babar Azam's team and topped the ICC ODI rankings. Just before the Asia Cup, Pakistan whitewashed Afghanistan in a three-match series and topped the rankings. He continued his streak by defeating Nepal in the first match of the Asia Cup. But in the second match against India, the match was abandoned and there were no points. If they can defeat India in the Super Four match, Ajid's top will be back at the top of the rankings in less than 24 hours. In that case Pakistan's rating point will be 122.

Agreed, the uncertainty always continues with these two teams. Based on the way India played in the previous match against Pakistan, it looks like Pakistan have got higher chance of winning. Most of the experts had mentioned, India somehow escaped and now it have got an opportunity. This time there can be small changes in the squad. In the previous match against Nepal Rohit Sharma played well whereas he struggled against the Pakistan left hand bowlers. Within few hours the match will start and today the weather condition is perfect in Colombo. We can't be sure of the nature, it can change anytime.This would be the second time that these two teams will be facing each other this year and in this tournament.

I will keep the Pakistan team ahead in this match. Because we are seeing very good performance from Pakistan recently . Because this team is in very good form. I don't see any weakness in batting and bowling. Almost every batsman in the team is doing well. A few days back, the team was completely dependent on the performances of babar azam and Mohammad rizwan. But now this problem is solved . The performance of Pakistan's other batsmen is also quite good now. On the other hand the performance of India's batsmen is erratic. Their bowlers are also not able to play consistently well. For these reasons, I will favor the Pakistan team in the match between India and Pakistan. I guess Pakistan will win.

The way Bangladesh held the Lankans in the match of Bachamara in the fight to reach the final of the Asia Cup. It seemed that Bangladesh's dream of fighting for the superiority of Asia would live on in this journey. But in the end it didn't happen anymore. The Asian World Cup mission of the red-green representatives has been destroyed by losing by 21 runs with the host Sri Lanka. Saturday (September 9) R. of Colombo. After losing the toss and batting first at the Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka scored 257 runs losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs. In response, the Tigers were bundled out for 236 runs in 48.1 overs chasing the target. As a result, Shakib Bhani's dream of winning the Asia Cup ended in a 21-run defeat.
Now it's never been easy for the Bangladesh tigers to have good results in this Asia Cup and World Cup because they are facing problems in batting which is important to settle, but it's not a short way it's need good and long term strategy which help them for increasing quality and performance as well.We have three former world champions here in this event, so things are never been easy to face them Afghanistan is also improving, but they also need to work on few things but Bangladesh which is now having good experience are still down and out which is the biggest concern for them and their management as well.
In last game, against Sri Lanka their bowlers done good job but sadly batting lineup completely fail to give his best and at the end they lost this match by 21 runs and now almost out of this event with short time for preparing for the World cup which is also going to start after 25 days.

Sirlinka bowling performance was very well in the previous match they all out the Bangladesh team in just 164 runs.

If Bangladesh team wants to survive then they must perform well today. Because Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka in the second match of the Asia Cup. But the Bangladesh team must perform well in the Super Four match today. The Sri Lankan team is not that strong but if the Bangladesh team can stay on the field till the end by protecting the wickets then there is definitely a chance to win. But the Bangladesh team will have to keep the Sri Lankan team under pressure with their bowling performance as they will have to prevent the Sri Lankan team from scoring more runs. Taskin Ahmed and Shariful Islam must put up a good bowling performance as Sri Lanka's runs will depend on them.
There is only one match left against India and if Bangladesh wins that match against India then Bangladesh has no chance of going to the next round.

Kinda surprised to see Litton Das batting tonight as he was missing from the squad, maybe injured? IDK. More surprising he was batting at the middle order.
Anyway, Bongs seems to lose the plot tonight and if i dare to say potentially a direct flight to Dhaka. Guess, a fair amount of fans were expecting the same.
Before the start of this match I was also expecting and same happen but still their bowling were much better than last matches, and they have achieved their target in bowling but sadly their batting is still not able to achieve things which are into their reach which is surely poor performance from their few veteran players because they need to lead from front in these situations.Anyway, Bongs seems to lose the plot tonight and if i dare to say potentially a direct flight to Dhaka.

Now situation is very interesting because Sri Lankan win bring them to second spot and tomorrow match is important who is going to be into final with rain still having impact on next matches which can make things more interesting because right now any prediction is not possible.
Now Sri Lanka having streak of 13 matches win which is second best behind Australia it's really impressive congrats to them and their fans as well.
After hard fight Sri Lanka have won the match by 21 runs. Bangladesh started well, and all of the sudden lost four consecutive wickets. This built pressure upon Bangladesh team. Mushfiqur Rahim along with Towhid Hridoy built partnership and withstood wickets. Once Mushfiqur Rahim lost his wicket, consecutively wickets started to fall at regular intervals. On the other side Towhid Hridoy stood strong and tried his best to win the match for Bangladesh. Finally Bangladesh had 11 balls remaining and 22 runs required, but no wickets left. For Sri Lanka it was Theekshana, Shanaka, Pathirana took 3 wickets each.
