In what will be a highly-entertaining affair, India take on Pakistan in their upcoming group stage fixture of the ongoing T20 World Cup, in New York on Sunday. All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma and Co, who will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins, after defeating Ireland in their campaign opener. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways, having lost to co-hosts USA in their opener.
Kuldeep Yadav is expected to be included in the playing XI and could be his side’s key player. His match-up against Babar Azam will be interesting to watch. This also means that one out of Axar Patel or Ravindra Jadeja may sit on the bench. Rohit and Virat Kohli are expected to open for Team India and Rishabh Pant will take the No. 3 slot.
After Pakistan’s defeat vs USA, Babar blamed his side’s bowlers. The conditions have already proved useful for seamers, as shown by Jasprit Bumrah. So, we could see Shaheen Shah Afridi and Pakistan’s pace battery get back to form on Sunday.
