India and Pakistan will resume their fierce cricket rivalry in a high-stakes Asia Cup clash on Sunday in Colombo. The crunch tie is likely to see the comeback of KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah to India's ODI XI after long injury layoffs. Rahul will probably replace in-form Ishan Kishan who has slammed four straight ODI fifties. Bumrah has rejoined the squad after missing the Nepal match for fatherhood. Their selection together may come at the cost of Kishan and Shami amid intense competition. Sunday's contest gives Rahul and Bumrah the chance to showcase match readiness ahead of the World Cup.
