Pakistan opt to bowl first against India
Pakistan have won the toss and opted to field against India in the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday.

A hazy sun shone as captain Babar Azam and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma stood for the toss on the pitch as commentator Ravi Shastri looked on.

After captain Babar Azam said he would bowl first, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said they would have batted anyway.

Earlier, the skies looked clear at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo where arch-rivals Pakistan and India are set to clash again in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023 on Sunday.

According to a photograph posted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on its X (formerly Twitter) account, the skies appeared to be clear.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) also put up a photo exclaiming: “The skies are clear as we all gear up for an exciting contest!”
