Shares
The Pakistan Cricket Team is contemplating changes in its starting lineup for the highly anticipated ICC World Cup match against India, set to take place on October 14 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Here is Pakistan's anticipated starting XI against India:
According to Zee News, the established opening pair of Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq has been facing consistent challenges.
In the recent Sri Lanka match, Fakhar was dropped from the lineup, and his replacement, Abdullah Shafique, performed impressively by scoring a century during a challenging chase. It's likely that Shafique will keep his place.
Nevertheless, there is a possibility that Captain Babar Azam might consider including Fakhar in the starting lineup while sidelining Imam. This is because Fakhar is known for his explosive batting and has a better track record against India.
Pakistan may also contemplate another change by replacing Mohammad Nawaz, the left-arm spin bowling all-rounder, with either Mohammad Wasim Jr or leg-spinner Usama Mir, depending on the match conditions.
Here is India's anticipated XI against Pakistan:
As for India's expected starting XI against Pakistan, it is likely to remain the same as the previous match, with the only potential change being a decision between Shardul Thakur and R Ashwin based on the match conditions
. Many Indian fans are eager to see the return of Shubman Gill, who was receiving treatment for dengue in Chennai and has now arrived in Ahmedabad.
However, his inclusion in the lineup for the Pakistan match remains uncertain.
