Before this match, there is a lot of discussion about the playing 11 of both the teams. The reason for which is that there is more than one player in both the teams.

At number four, one of the players in Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Verma will be included in the XI team. While KL Rahul can be seen playing for number five, but suspense remains even on KL Rahul playing against Pakistan.

Talking about bowling, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah will be included mainly. While any one player in Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj can be included in the playing 11.
On the other hand, Captain Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman will be seen opening in the playing 11 of the Pakistani team. Whereas in the middle order, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha will be seen handling the important responsibilities of the team.

On the other hand, if we talk about batting, then both the teams have excellent batsmen. However, Team India has more experienced and most active run-scorers in the form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who can prove to be heavy on Pakistan’s young experience.
