New Delhi. The great match between India and Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) will start in a few hours today, September 2. Pakistan has started with a win. In such a situation, his team will be full of confidence. Team India will also want to maintain their dominance over Pakistan. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar says that whichever team bats first will easily win the match.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Shoaib Akhtar said, “Babar Azam and his team are very mature. He has played high pressure games against India before. He will not be under pressure now. If Pakistan win the toss and bat first then I can say they will win this match. If India wins the toss and bats, Pakistan may be in trouble. He will win the match. Because if there is light then the ball will not come properly.
Shoaib Akhtar further said, “Both teams have a good chance. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj will all play. Kuldeep Yadav can also play this match. Virat Kohli is being debated whether he will play at No. 3 or No. 4. Ishan Kishan can open. Or he may be offered at number 5. But Pakistan seems to have a hand in this match. They no longer have the middle order they used to have. The team has become a lot better.”
Indian team- Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (Vice-Captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Famous Krishna.
