Big image: Pakistan’s fight for survival
If Pakistan needed a miracle, that’s now. Not for the fault of cricket players, they find themselves isolated in international cricket since it is the first ICC event they organize in 29 years. And barely three days after the start of the Champions Trophy, following a battery against New Zealand, they look at the sign of a party that they waited for three decades to welcome.
To stay alive in the tournament, Pakistan must beat its arc rivals on a slow and tired track, where India has already played and won a match, and having five spinners to choose. Without fault with India cricket players, Pakistan must leave their own party and go to Dubai because India has refused to go to Pakistan for reasons that their board of directors or their government will specify. Do you want to blame Pakistan to feel the siege when they even have to fight to return to the name of their nation in the official distribution brand? At these times, the reasons behind such an omission may seem claims even if they are not.
He creates a strange dynamic between the two sets of cricket players. Despite all the machinations, the cricket players respect each other and are civilian to each other insofar as it annoys those who want their own hatred to reflect on the field. The edge is also due to the Gulf between both sides.
As is likely to happen with a team left isolated, Pakistan, once at the forefront of innovation in Asia, are terribly late, especially in limited cricket. India, once the country of accumulators but not always the winners, now strives to push in the future. At a time when the ICC designs its tournament hours to ensure at least a great Indian-Pakistani match, it said a lot that Pakistan won in 2017 and 2021 since 2011.
More than the four -year wins model, Pakistan will examine the conditions with a certain hope. The slow locations of Dubai, recently used for ILT20, call for an old -fashioned game which could neutralize to an extent of the great advantage of India in the middle of the Overs. Without dew – 1 p.m. starts anyway, leaving me small room so that the dew plays a role – launching it on these locations is a big advantage. Under similar conditions last year, Sri Lanka had the upper hand over India in a bilateral series at home with a spin attack not announced. They won the throws, struck first and obtained mid-200 at each match. Pakistan hopes for a rehearsal, but India will also rely on the lessons they have learned.

Under the spotlight: Virat Kohli and Salman Agha
Virat Kohli went to Legspin in each of the last five games he has confronted with such a bowling alley. It was five layoffs for 21 points in the last 46 legspin bullets to which he faced in the ODI. Now Pakistan has no classic leg in its ranks, but Abrar Ahmed turns the ball in both directions like a leg. Most strikers these days can strike big on flat tracks, but this is where you need the skill to choose singles without taking risks. It is not difficult to imagine that India needs this in one of these games. Will the old Kohli arise?
Salman Agha was the silver lining of Pakistan in the recent Cricket Odi. Since 2024, he has scored the second most intermediate points for Pakistan: 325, with an average of 65.00 and a typing rate of 88.07. Pakistan will need all of its industry in the middle of the Overs when India tries to suffocate them with their slower quantities.
Team News: Imam or Usman in place of Fakhar?
The Imam-ul-haq entered the team to replace the only dynamic opener that Pakistan had, Fakhar Zaman. Usman Khan is their other reserve paste, but if he has his ODI debut, he will have to do it in an unknown role: he beats at n ° 4 in a cricket list.
Pakistan (possible): 1 imam-ul-haq, 2 Babar Azam, 3 Saud Shakeel, 4 Mohammad Rizwan (Capt, WK), 5 Salman Agha, 6 Tayyab Tahir, 7 Khushdil Shah, 8 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 9 Naseem Shah, 10 Haris RAUF, 11 Abrar Ahmed
There is no reason why India will make changes to their combination or their staff.
India (Possible): 1 Rohit Sharma (CAPT), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 Kl Rahul (WK), 6 Hardy Pandya, 7 Raviundi Jadeja, 8 Axar Patel, 9 Harshit Rana, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Kuldeep Yadav
India first wanted to move in its opening match against Bangladesh, but given the way the land has slowed down and how there was no dew, do not expect the team again makes this error in Dubai. Expect the teams to get the best party from PowerPlay before the middlemen attached them. It is difficult to see the trend change on the grounds that have recently been used for an entire T20 tournament.
