The group stage of the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/asia-cup/" title=" Asia Cup 2023 " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Asia Cup 2023 </strong></a>concluded with the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan at the Gaddafi Stadium. From Group B, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh sealed their spot, while from Group A, India and Pakistan punched their tickets to play the Super Four round. In the fifth match of the 2023 Asia Cup, India thrashed Nepal by ten wickets and became the second team in the competition to reach the next stage.

In the group round, the high-octane clash between India and Pakistan ended in a no result due to heavy rain. After qualifying for the Super Four stage, both teams are set to clash with each other on September 10. With the return of the greatest rivalry on the upcoming Super Sunday, eyes will be set on some top-notch player battles.&nbsp;

Here are five player battles to watch out for in the Asia Cup 2023

Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling numbers are decent against Pakistan. The 28-year-old has played four One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against the Men in Green and has picked up five wickets at an economy of 4.07. Of these five wickets, Fakhar Zaman has become his victim twice.

In the 2018 Asia Cup Super Four game, Kuldeep trapped the southpaw and derailed his stable innings on 31. Both players faced each other again in the 2019 World Cup. This time, Fakhar was looking confident and notched up a half-century, but high-spirited Kuldeep got the better of the opener again.

After outplaying Babar Azam, the wrist spinner got Fakhar caught at the short fine leg at the hands of Yuzvendra Chahal. Talking about the 33-year-old's overall record against the wrist-spinner, he has scored 28 runs in 27 deliveries at a strike rate of 103.70, but the <strong>Indian</strong> spin wizard is one who had the last laugh twice.&nbsp;

The numbers prove that Kuldeep has an upper hand over the Pakistan opener thus far. In the upcoming game, it will be interesting to see whether Fakhar will succeed in turning the tables or if Kuldeep will continue dominating the Pakistan batter.

(Photo Source: KARIM SAHIB/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

In the group match against Pakistan at the Pallekele International Stadium, Hardik Pandya came to India’s rescue with his stunning knock of 87 off 90. The fierce all-rounder will look forward to continuing his excellent work in the Super Four stage. In the high-voltage match against Pakistan on Sunday, Indian fans will expect Hardik to do wonders again.

Along with the bat, Hardik’s role will be to reinforce India’s pace attack along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The 29-year-old has played five ODIs against Pakistan and has claimed five wickets in four innings at an economy of 5.31. Hardik will look to pip Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan in the upcoming match with the ball.

Both players haven’t confronted each other in the ODI format, but in T20 Internationals (T20Is), it was Hardik who emerged as a winner with the ball. In the previous Asia Cup played in the T20I format, the pacer exploited Rizwan’s weakness by pushing him towards the off-side. Taking advantage of Rizwan’s off-side frailty, Hardik dismissed him in both matches.&nbsp;

Rizwan will strive to avoid throwing his wicket against Pandya as, unlike T20Is, he might get time to settle at the crease in this Asia Cup as it’s getting played in the ODI format. While Hardik, who is in great touch, will look to bring down the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/roger-binny-on-grandeur-of-india-pakistan-clashes/" title="Pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pakistan</strong></a> player again.

(Photo Source: ASIF HASSAN/AFP via Getty Images and ISHARA S. KODIKARA/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Jasprit Bumrah made a comeback in ODIs almost after one year in the group game against the Men in Green in Pallekele. The speedster didn’t get a chance to bowl as the game was washed out due to rain. After missing the second match against Nepal, Bumrah will join the playing XI again in the Super Fours stage.

A mouth-watering contest between Bumrah and Pakistan captain Babar Azam could be witnessed in the next India-Pakistan encounter. Both players have contested against each other in five matches. In all these appearances, the speedster has bowled 26 deliveries to the Pakistan skipper and scored 17 runs.

In the Super Fours game against Pakistan, India supporters will expect Bumrah to outclass Babar and bring cheers to their faces. On the other hand, Pakistan fans will want their skipper to take India’s premier pacer to the cleaners and emerge as the winner in this blockbuster rivalry.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1694273438767_Virat-Kohli-and-Haris-Rauf.jpeg" alt="Virat Kohli and Haris Rauf" loading="lazy"><figcaption data-gramm="false" wt-ignore-input="true">Virat Kohli and Haris Rauf. (Photo Source: Daniel Pockett-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Haris Rauf was full of energy against India in the group match. In his nine-over spell, he grabbed figures of 3-58. Ahead of the game, fans were expecting a top-notch clash between Rauf and Virat Kohli, who smacked the Pakistan pacer for a couple of sixes in the 2022 T20 World Cup and changed the course of the game.

In January 2023, Rauf participated in a talk show in his country and discussed his hammering at the hands of the India batting maestro at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The speedster praised Kohli’s efforts against him but added that Virat won’t be able to play that shot again as those kinds of shots are rarely played in this sport.

Rauf didn’t get a chance to meet Kohli as the veteran India batter lost his wicket on four to Shaheen Shah Afridi in the seventh over of the match. In the Super Four game, fans would want to witness the fierce encounter between the India legend and the aggressive Pakistan paceman.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1694273065776_Rohit-Sharma-and-Shaheen-Shah-Afridi.jpeg" alt="Rohit Sharma and Shaheen Shah Afridi" loading="lazy"><figcaption data-gramm="false" wt-ignore-input="true">Rohit Sharma and Shaheen Shah Afridi. (Photo Source: Surjeet Yadav/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Shaheen Shah Afridi delivered his best to Pakistan in the massive contest in Pallekele. Indian batters failed to answer his fiery pace bowling for another time within two years. Bowling a ten-over spell, he bagged a four-wicket haul and splurged only 35 runs with a couple of maidens.

India captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/kl-rahul-and-ishan-kishan-can-play-together-rohit-sharma/" title=" Rohit Sharma " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rohit Sharma </strong></a>became his first victim, and with this enormous success, he helped his team to have a fine start to the game. In the upcoming match on Sunday, Rohit will be expected to showcase his best side against Shaheen and equal his score in this tournament.

Back in the 2018 Asia Cup, Rohit thrashed newcomer Shaheen in the Super Fours match and helped the Men in Blue emerge victorious against the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Pakistan by nine wickets in Dubai. Since then, a lot has changed between both players. In the past few matches in the international circuit, Shaheen has held his nerves and overpowered the India skipper with his brilliant, exquisite, fast-bowling talent. &nbsp;&nbsp;
