IND vs PAK: The much-awaited clash between India and Pakistan is all set to be played on Sunday. India thrashed Pakistan in the last game, and it ended with a no-handshake controversy. Now, both teams will be prepared for another big battle. The upcoming game will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 8 PM IST.
India Preview
India are undefeated in this tournament, and they have dominated all their opposition. All the batters had some game time against Oman in the last game, and they would be prepared for this battle and get a win to keep their dominance over the archrivals.
- Key Batter: Abhishek Sharma has been giving India flying starts, and apart from him, captain Suryakumar Yadav will be key for the Indian batting unit.
- Captaincy: Suryakumar has been pretty good as captain. He has a very high win percentage as Indian T20I captain.
- Batting Strength: India have a long and strong batting lineup. From Abhishek Sharma to Axar Patel, every batter is capable of tearing apart the opposition bowling unit.
- Bowling Attack: Kuldeep, Varun, and Axar are picking wickets in the middle. Hardik is complementing Bumrah with the new ball.
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan have been playing good cricket but only against lower-ranked teams. They have failed badly whenever they have faced a quality opponent, which we saw in the group stage. Hence, they will need a good start from the top to challenge India.
- Batting: Saim Ayub has recorded three consecutive ducks, and Sahibzada Farhan has struggled. Fakhar and Haris have one fifty each, and then there is nothing. Shaheen is scoring better than Pakistan’s key batter. So, they need a strong batting performance.
- Bowling: The spin unit of Pakistan is pretty decent. Saim Ayub is bowling well, as is Abrar Ahmed. They just need early wickets from their fast bowlers.
