As India meets Pakistan in a much-anticipated ODI for the first time since the 2019 World Cup on Saturday, the weather may play a spoilsport. Rain may delay the start of play at Pallekele. The high-stakes match pits Pakistan's Afridi, Rauf, and Naseem against India's Rohit, Gill, and Kohli. Bumrah’s performance will be much under the scanner while Fakhar looks to regain form for Pakistan. Both teams have batting depth but India faces tough bowling choices. Some records are also on the cards. While Kohli can reach 13,000 ODI runs in his 266th innings, beating Tendulkar's 321, Babar can break Kohli's record of fastest to 2000 ODI runs as captain.
