The match anticipated clash between India and Pakistan will be played on october 14 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Both the teams are coming with two consecutive wins in this ODI World Cup campaign. It will be interesting to see how both sides will go against each other.
In the last match against Afghanistan, India beat the opponent by eight wickets, thanks to the superb century by skipper Rohit Sharma. Pakistan is also coming with a win against Sri Lanka.
Pitch Condition:
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known to favor batsmen. However, early swing might be a significant factor in the initial phase of the match, and the spinners could find some assistance during the middle overs. Given the conditions, choosing to field first and then pursuing the target could be a sensible strategy.
India
Team India has a strong batting lineup. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli got superb half-centuries against Australia. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma came with a blast against Afghanistan. Jasprit Bumrah was also lethal in his last match against Afghanistan.
After an outstanding performance against Sri Lanka, Babar Azam is inclined to keep the same playing lineup for the match against India, with the existing system potentially remaining unaltered.
India’s predicted XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Mohd Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav
Pakistan’s predicted XI: Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali
