IND vs PAK Key Players

Virat Kohli

Big games against Pakistan always put Virat Kohli in the spotlight. Indian Cricket has no superstar bigger than him at the moment and a lot will rest on how he performs with Pakistan’s bowling line-up likely to put India’s batting under pressure early.

Abdullah Shahfique

Coming in for Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shahfique provided the necessary stability and aggression at the top. He got his first century to announce himself in the World Cup and now ensures Pakistan are not dependent on two players alone.

IND vs PAK Match Tips

Little separate the two sides on paper. Pakistan have the bowling and left-arm seam advantage to shake the Indian Team but India’s bowling too is pretty good and the batting could be very tough to stop on its day. With a good batting track, India’s batting prowess looks more likely to be on display.

Match Prediction: India Will Win the Match
