India Vs Pakistan Live Score
India vs Pakistan – The El Clasico of Cricket. In the world of cricket a match between India and Pakistan will always have a significant importance. They are considered arch-rivals. The fans of the both the countries pray the gods that their team thrashes the other. We saw several nail biting matches between them in the past. But still a match between these teams in an ICC tournament is always considered a special one.
In the recent past, India dominated Pakistan in all the major ICC events. They have won all the games in their 6 encounters in ICC Cricket World Cup. Of course, India suffered two losses in the Champions trophy but those were back in 2004 and 2009. India took revenge with their win in the 2013.
Indian Composition
With likes of Virat, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Rohit, Rahane and Dhawan, Indian batting line up now is second to none. On their day, they can hammer any bowling attack. All the eyes are on the captain Virat who was in the form of his life the last couple of years. The sooner he forgets this year’s IPL the better for the Indian team. His aggression is going to play a key role in this match. The only concern Indian team has now is none of these players are in top ten scorers of this year’s IPL except Dhawan.
One of the boons Indian team has now is the number of all-rounders- Yuvraj, Jadeja, Kedar, Ashwin and Hardik.
With 26 wickets Bhuvneshwar won the Purple Cap in this year’s IPL. His bowling in death overs will be crucial for the Indian team in this tournament. Ashwin haven’t played a match in IPL. So, we must wait and watch what he has in the store.
The Indian coach and captain will have a tough time picking final XI.
Sarfraz Ahmed has got a tough job in hand. With their first match against India, it will not be an effortless way ahead for him. They have got a decent pace attack in the form of Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan. They have strong middle order with Hafeez and Malik. Lack of experience in their top order might be a major concern for Pakistan.
Showers are expected in Birmingham. So, let’s pray the rain god!
