IND vs PAK: India and Pakistan, the greatest rivals of all time are heading to a face-off in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s match today on 10th September. Amid the rain prediction, hope and anticipation are at an all-time high as it is IND vs PAK. Here we present you the strongest playing 11s prediction and also who will win the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s.

Cricket is more than just a sport in the Indian subcontinent; it's a passion that runs deep in the veins of millions of people. As time approaches, the excitement and anticipation for the India vs Pakistan cricket match continue to grow more and more. Asia Cup is nowadays known for IND vs PAK as these two border-sharing nations don't play bilateral matches and the political border tensions invigorate the anticipations and competitiveness among the fans.

Pakistan and India battled a few days ago in this tournament where the rain halted the match and the match was called off. India batted first and Shaheen Afridi wreaked havoc in the Indian top order yet another time. India's top order would be itching to talk back, and there is no better place to do it than in Colombo during the Asia Cup, before the roar of Ahmedabad, cricket's biggest venue, swings at you.

Pakistan has unquestionably seemed to be the best squad in the competition out of the six teams that are taking part. The batsmen have done a nice job both building and hunting for the target, although they would need more runs from Fakhar Zaman, who has had a terrific year but a quite recent period.

Pakistan's bowling was on point and ruthless. Naseem Shah's bowling rockets, Shaheen's thinking his "best is yet to come" and Haris Rauf's doing everything right and fairly wanting to be the Player of the Tournament.

India, on the other hand, struggled in the first match against Pakistan where the top order again kneeled down to Shaheen Afridi and Rauf. Middle Order handled the conditions perfectly and managed to put forth a respectable total but it was not going to be a tough target for the in-form Pakistani batting line-up. Rohit and Gill looked in fine touch in the second match and hopefully, they could replicate the same today.

Rohit Sharma rated India's bowling and fielding against Nepal as "below par." Within the first five overs, they missed three catches, and the bowling, with the exception of Ravindra Jadeja, was unsteady. Jasprit Bumrah has rejoined the squad, which will give them an extra boost, but it will need more than just him to beat a Pakistani side that is in good form.

Down below is the IND vs PAK strongest playing 11s prediction and also who will win the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s:

India

After returning from his private trip to India, Bumrah should be able to rejoin the team right away. It's also a plus that left-handed Ishan Kishan, who is currently on fire, helps break up the middle order's right-hand monotony. If the surface appears to be dry, India may decide to play Axar Patel rather than Shardul Thakur.

Virat Kohli's runs inside the PowerPlay have a strike rate of 67 and an average of 19 since 2022. Pakistan will attempt to maintain their early lack of form.

India?s Strongest Playing 11:?Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur/Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Pakistan

Although Naseem Shah injured his arm during the game against Bangladesh, he returned with the ball in his hands, therefore Pakistan shouldn't be concerned. After being passed over in favor of Faheem Ashraf on a track in Lahore that was a little too pace-friendly, Mohammad Nawaz may make his way back into the starting XI.

Watch out for Kuldeep Yadav's early entry into the attack as both Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman have poor matchups against this spinner.

Who will win IND vs PAK?

India and Pakistan, both are top quality sides and it is very hard to predict one winner. Even if one side might look better than the other on paper, an additional pressure burden works on the ground.

Taking the surface conditions and recent form under consideration, Indian batting is looking stronger and more reliable. When we talk about bowling, though Jaspret Bumrah is back on the line-up with fire, Pakistan?s bowling arsenal is by far stronger than that of India.

So, considering all, we predict INDIA WILL WIN IND vs PAK on September 10.**

These predictions are based on analyzing and comparing teams on statistical as well as personal levels. These might be subjective.
