Let's look at potential Pak 11:

 

Babar

Rizwan

2 from Masood, Fakar & Iftakar 

Shadab

Nawaz

Ali 

Afridi

Rauf

Naseem

Wasim or Hasnain 

 

Probably the best T20 bowling attack in the competition (can strangle teams in the death overs) + competitive batsmen 

Pakistan wont play wasim or hasnain vs india . Fakhar and iftikhar both will likely play if fit and so will Haider ali.

ohh nahi bhai, UAE main bhi your batting cant get above 180 and woh bhi chase kerwa daitay ho, your bowling is too average for the batting to make up for it consistently against good attacks.

Australia main indian bowlers and batsmen do well, so they are a top side in those conditions.

 

 

Lol same can be said about your batting against good bowling attacks. India will win 99% of the games if we are chasing against you in UAE. I am just giving the benefit of doubt there. Laughable to claim Pakistan are better everywhere else..

By Ali, I meant Haider. 

 

The batting appears to be relatively dull so if Pak packs its 11 with more struggling batsmen, I am not sure if it would help ... Play the 6  most in form batsmen (including someone who can be the 6th bowler) + best bowlers (Pak' strength)

 

Ind's case is opposite.

Both teams can combine their 11s to improve their chances 

 

One is without a shirt, the other without a pant

I am not a wrist slitter. I am equally happy if India wins or loses, therefore comfortable assessing various scenarios including more probable ones. 

 

But anyways, wasn't planning on starting the match thread!

Ind's best chance was if the Zen Master put his hand on it but appears as if @coffee_rules indirectly and unknowingly played his part too this time

 

Anyways, let the team that plays best on the day win!

i believe in the gambling philosophy of “never get up during a raising hand”. Zen bapu’s power made GT champs and his prayers have turned SDP’s career somewhat. Backing luck factors over our pathetic side

[SM2907]

 We will do good in the tournament. We may beat Pakistan on the way. Quietly confident. Not like 2015 or 2019

Axar is our 6th bowler so dont u think a captain wud be smart where to use him where not too. 

Wudnt a captain use him against ur two right handed openers ? 

6th bowler , u dnt need to even bowl him full quota unless other bowls bad but then the game wud already be lost. 

Dont forget its a bigger ground and its often seen going against favourable matchups have ended up in wkts. This isnt indore or chinnaswamy 

 

Fakhar anyways have struggled in t20 

Neither babar-rizwan is leaving enough time for others. We have ashwin one the best against left handers

 

How is Axar 6th bowler? He is not much of a bat and a poor fielder. He shouldn't warrant a place in the side then.

jadeja wasnt great with bat either and axar has improved with bat , now how much that time will tell but he has had quite an improvement

About his bowling - his bowling is much much better then jaddu in t20, for stater jaddu cant even bowl in PP whereas Axar can. IF he bowls to his potential he wont be an easy bowler 

 

Now how is he a 6th bowler same way jaddu wud have been. When we go overseas pandya becomes 5th and jaddu/axar 6th , the opposite happens on wkts where it spins

 

We cant go with just 5 bowling options , considering we have shami-bhuvi-hardik all injury prone players and none of the batter who can bowl. Can be tried in one game but too risky to continue for more

That's what I am saying, he is not an allrounder, a bowler who can bat and not much of a fielder. He is a like replacement for Jaddu only as SLA. Batting Jaddu is ahead and fielding let's not even go there. Team wants him to bowl his 4 overs economically and if possible pick couple of wickets, runs from his bat are a bonus. 

[vvvslaxman]

India might once again push Axar ahead (assuming DK plays) to create an illusion that we have batting depth. Batting first If India loses 5 wickets in first 10 overs, game over pretty much against any side not just Pakistan.

Rain predicted 

[Vilander]

Only chance is to bat them out of the game. Cause our bowlers are ****.

[puneet28]

The chances of rain have increased to 80% now.
