PAK vs IND, Asia Cup 2023: Cricket Fantasy Tips and Teams for the 3rd match of Super Fours (Source: AP Photos

In the third match of the Super Fours in Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan (PAK) will be taking on India (IND). The match will be played on Sunday, 10th September, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the top player picks, the important player stats, the top captain and vice-captain choices and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Pakistan have been pretty clinical with their performance in the tournament so far. They managed to win one of their games in the Super Four, while the other was abandoned due to rain. In the first clash of the Super Fours, Babar Azam and company gave the Bangladesh team a convincing defeat. They will look to maintain the momentum and win this game to solidify their claim to a spot in the summit clash of the tournament.

India, on the other hand, have looked scratchy in the tournament. While in the first game, the batting line-up could have delivered a better start, the team's bowling looked lacklustre in the next game. Incidentally, both their games have been rain-affected, and the team is yet to play a complete 100 overs match in the tournament.

The rivalry between the two teams is well-known in the world of cricket. Given a position in the final up for grabs and their incomplete affair last time around, we are awaiting an exciting and enthralling clash.

PAK vs IND, Match 9: Top Player Picks

Babar Azam (PAK)

• The Pakistan skipper started off the Asia Cup 2023 on a great note with a brilliant hundred in the first match. Though Babar failed to continue the form in the next match, he will still be a key cog in the team's batting mechanism.
• There is a popular notion that Babar does not play well against India in the ODIs. He will be looking to break this thought and play a match winning knock in this game.

Shadab Khan (PAK)

• Given Pakistan's performance till now in the tournament, Shadab Khan might look like a very unlikely pick. But with the playing conditions changing for this phase of the tournament, Shadab might turn out to be differential pick in the match. 

Rohit Sharma (PAK)

• Rohit Sharma regained his batting form in the last match. On a slower wicket at the R Premadasa Sharma might not struggle that much against the Pakistani pacers. 
• Given his past ODI record against Pakistan, Rohit Sharma will be a crucial pick for the match. 

Ravindra Jadeja (IND)

• Ravindra Jadeja looked in great rhythm with the ball in the previous match. The track will suit his style of bowling and hence Jaddu will be key pick for the match. 
• The Indian top-order struggles against proper pace attack. Though the pitch at Premadasa Stadium will be slower, there is no surety that the Indian top-order will fire. Hence, Jadeja's batting is also pretty important for team India and his ability to pick up points in both innings of the match makes him a great pick for the game.
