Pakistan (PAK) will take on India (IND) in the third match of the Super Fours in the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday. Ahead of the game, here's all you need to know about the PAK vs IND Dream11 prediction, playing XIs, fantasy cricket tips, and pitch report.
Pakistan have been at the top of their game in this tournament. They won one of their games in the group stage, while the other match was abandoned due to rain. They topped the group and made their way into the Super Fours stage. They have already played a game in this stage and have won the match against Bangladesh pretty convincingly.
India, on the other hand, have been a bit scratchy in the tournament. In their first game, the top-order of the batting line-up looked rusty, while in the next match, the bowling attack did not perform up to the mark. This will be their first match in the Super Fours stage and India will be looking to get their act together as soon as possible.
Incidentally, these two teams have already met once in the tournament. Unfortunately, that match was abandoned due to rain.

PAK vs IND Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper - Mohammad Rizwan
The Pakistani wicketkeeper-batter is a stable run-scorer. Rizwan looked in good touch in the last match and his ability to score runs under pressure will be a big asset to the team. Rizwan plays spin well and that makes him a great pick for this game.
Batter - Shreyas Iyer
The Indian middle-order batter looked in good touch in the previous match against Pakistan. However, Iyer did not convert his start in that game, he will be looking to go big this time around. Iyer will be key to India's fate in the game and will be a good pick for the match.
All-rounders - Ravindra Jadeja and Shadab Khan
Ravindra Jadeja looked in great bowling form in the last match. For this game, Jadeja will be eager to deliver with the bat too.
Shadab Khan will play a big part in Pakistan's game plan since the action of the Asia Cup has shifted Sri Lanka. He has not looked the best as a bowler in the tournament but the conditions will be good for him from now on. Also, his ability to contribute with the bat lower down the order makes Shadab a brilliant choice for this game.
Bowler - Shaheen Shah Afridi
The Pakistani left-arm pacer has posed a threat to the Indian top-order in the previous meetings. Once again, India will be weary of Shaheen Afridi and he will be a good choice for the game.
PAK vs IND match captain and vice-captain choices
Shreyas Iyer
Well, he is making a comeback and his name in this section might be a surprise. But Shreyas Iyer likes batting in these conditions and it might turn out to be a differential choice to make him the captain or the vice-captain for the game.
Babar Azam
The Pakistani skipper started off the tournament on a great note with the bat. Babar Azam will be looking to be at the peak of his game for this crunch match and hence will be a rather safe choice as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
