ODI Asia Cup 2023: The ODI Asia Cup 2023 has been a great exhibition shown by the batters so far but unfortunately, the fans couldn’t witness a full game between India and Pakistan which was on Saturday, 2nd September 2023 due to the rains in Sri Lanka and because of that the Indian bowlers couldn’t show their class in that game.

However, the fans shouldn’t be too disappointed as India and Pakistan will clash once again in this year’s ODI Asia Cup 2023. That game will be in the Super Four round and it will be played on Sunday, 10th September 2023.

India has entered the Super Four round of this year’s ODI Asia Cup 2023 after their thumping 10-wicket win over Nepal in yesterday’s match.
