Now one day is left for the start of Asia Cup. Tomorrow, the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will start the biggest cricket tournament in Asia. On August 28, the biggest match of the tournament will be played. This means that the cricket teams of India and Pakistan will be face to face. Before this, know how Pakistan’s playing XI will be against India.
Pak’s top order is very strong
Wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam will open for Pakistan against India. At the same time, Fakhar Zaman will bat at number three. All three have done brilliantly for Pakistan in T20 Internationals.
Middle order is Pakistan’s weak link
Pakistan’s middle order will be inexperienced in the Asia Cup. In this, Haider Ali at number four, Iftikhar Ahmed at number five and Asif Ali will bat at number six. However, Asif Ali performed brilliantly for Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup. He had won the lost battle for Pakistan on many occasions.
This will be the bowling department
In the absence of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf will be Pakistan’s leading bowler. On the other hand, Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah will accompany him. The spin department will be handled by Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz. Both these players can contribute to the team with the bat down the order.
Pakistan’s probable playing XI against India – Babar Azam (captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah.
