In preparation for their second match of the World Cup against Sri Lanka, Pakistan is contemplating a potential alteration to their winning lineup from the opening match against Holland, which they won by a margin of 81 runs.
The suggested change revolves around the possibility of Abdullah Shafiq stepping in to replace the somewhat out-of-form Fakhar. It's important to note, however, that the definitive decision in this matter has not been reached as of now.
As the day of the crucial match against Sri Lanka approaches, the prospect of a single change in the lineup lingers. Presently, there are no reported injuries within the team, which leaves room for the consideration of this alteration.
The focal point of this potential shift revolves around Abdullah potentially taking on the role that Fakhar currently occupies. Nevertheless, the ultimate verdict remains pending, pending a thorough evaluation of whether the victorious combination should be retained or if Abdullah should indeed assume Fakhar's position.
The anticipated resolution to this dilemma is expected to be disclosed on the day of the match itself. In the lead-up to this significant contest, the team members engaged in an intense day of preparation on Sunday.
This encompassed an extensive training session and time spent in the nets at the Hyderabad Stadium in India, where the match against Sri Lanka is set to take place on Tuesday.
