IND Vs PAK, T20 WC: Same Pitch To Be Used That Was Used For ENG Vs WI Low-Scoring Encounter
The interesting thing about the ENG Vs WI match was that it was one of the lowest-scoring T20I matches of all time. Thus, it can be expected that today's game might also be a low-scoring one.
T20 World Cup: The same pitch that was used for the England vs West Indies match on Saturday will be used for India vs Pakistan match, at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai.
The interesting thing about the ENG Vs WI match was that it was one of the lowest-scoring T20I matches of all time. West Indies were all-out for just 55 runs. Thus, it can be expected that today's game might also be a low-scoring one.
Another interesting fact from the England vs West Indies match was that eight out of fourteen wickets were picked by spinners. It will be interesting to see how the Indian spinners, namely Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakravarthy operate.
The team winning the toss would look to bowl first on this dry wicket. As reported in the match report on Saturday, the pitch has dry grass which will make it two-paced. We can expect a lot of change-ups from the pacers.
Nonetheless, the fact that the same pitch will be used will at least give both the captains some ideas to decide on the team selection.
Pakistan's Team Against India: Babar Azam (c), Asif Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shoaib Malik, Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf
5-0 🔢
