It will be a sight to savour when Virat Kohli`s outrageous strokes are on display against Haris Rauf while Rohit Sharma hits Shaheen Shah Afridi`s banana inswingers out of the park during India`s `battle royale` against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023, which will be more than just an ODI World Cup dress rehearsal.
The Asia Cup has returned to the 50-over format to facilitate an ideal match preparation for five of the six participating teams but for organisers and the fans India versus Pakistan is not just another game, it is `The Match`. However, with steady rain predicted in the hilly Kandy region on Saturday, an anti-climax to a mouth-watering clash can`t be ruled out.
