Perhaps, playing against Pakistan, against which he enjoys a tremendous record -678 runs in 16 Odis @52.15, will bring the best from former captain of former India, with a highest score of three hundreds and 183 in Dhaka in 2012. Pakistan Leggy Abrar Ahmed, and even Left-Bermer Khushdil Shah and off-spinner Salman Agh will also imagine their opportunities against the aging superstar.
Meanwhile, Pakistan, who trained under Roshni at the ICC Academy here after arriving for this big ticket on Friday, already lost a 60 -run shine after going to a skilled New Zealand to be embarrassed to get out of the tournament after going to New Zealand. Are staring at The opening match was in all departments at the National Stadium in Karachi. Perennial slow start, explosive opener Fakhar Zaman was dropped from the event on Wednesday.
Fakhar’s applicable Oster has denied the team of his second first choice opener after a untimely injury to Sam Ayub in Australia.

The person changing Fakhar is another left-arm opener in Imam-ul-Haq, but unlike Fakhar, he is not a person who can destroy a bowling attack. Another concern for Pakistan is a strike rate of former captain Babar Azam these days, who took 90 balls to score 64 against Kiwi on the second day.

In ICC events, in both white balls formats, India set 17–4 records against their hardcore rivals, meaning that they enter the Sunday competition as a huge favorite.

We addressed the mistakes made in the previous game Will and will not try not to try and do not try to repeat them, this is a significant stability;
Rauf, who won 83–2 in 10 overs against New Zealand in 10 overs, claimed that his side’s morale was still excited before the win-win game. “Morale is not down; all boys will work hard and give their best. This is an important stability, and we will aim to perform well in all departments – batting, bowling and fielding. There is no extra pressure; we are; we are; we are; we are; Huh.
