New Delhi. There are only two days left in the countdown to the start of Asia Cup 2023.

Both the teams are ready for the next match and are sweating on the field.
The players of both the teams are constantly being compared before the match in the Asia Cup. Currently, the biggest problem facing both teams is the number four batting order. The Indian team has been testing its players on this order for quite some time now. The same problem has been with the green team. Pakistan are constantly trying out new players in this order in limited overs.
