PAK vs IND Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Asia Cup Match Between Pakistan and India, Asia Cup, 3rd Match

Pakistan and India last faced off in an ODI back in 2019 where Rohit Sharma made a commanding 140 and Babar Azam was done by a spectacular googly from Kuldeep Yadav. Four years on, Babar Azam and Pakistan are number one in the ODI rankings and Rohit Sharma is coming in with a lot of questions asked of his form and captaincy. Recent results and encounters leave Pakistan favorites given how they look very settled while India is still looking to solve their middle-order issues, a problem that has persisted for them throughout the last four years.

PAK vs IND Key Players

Kuldeep Yadav

Babar Azam and Pakistan are both really good players of spin. Kuldeep Yadav though has had the better of Babar Azam, who has slight issues with the Googly once, and could play a key role if the pair face off yet again.

Imam-Ul-Haq

While Gurbaz has been good against pace, Imam Ul Haq has shown that he can handle the Afghanistan spinners, who are among the best in the World. He played a pretty good hand in both games looking the most comfortable of the Pakistani batters.

PAK vs IND Match Tips

Pakistan coming in favorites against India is something that has not happened much in the last decade. However, with India pretty unsettled and Pakistan clear with their strategies Pakistan are likely to edge ahead unless India’s trump card Virat Kohli can pull something special once more.
