India and Pakistan to make changes ahead of big clash?
India and Pakistan are expected to make key changes to their teams before their major match at the R. Premadasa Stadium, according to the reports.
India are likely to bring back opening batter Abhishek Sharma, reportedly. He missed the last match against Namibia. He is expected to replace wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in the playing XI for the match against Pakistan.
Pakistan may also make two changes in their line-up. Wicketkeeper-batter Usman Khan is likely to be dropped. Young batter Khawaja Nafay is expected to take his place. Fakhar Zaman is also likely to return to the team. He may replace Mohammad Nawaz.
Usman Khan failed to perform in Pakistan’s first two matches of the T20 World Cup. He was dismissed for zero in both games against the Netherlands and the USA.
Khawaja Nafay has played two T20 Internationals for Pakistan. He has scored 47 runs so far. His strike rate is 174.07. He is now close to making his T20 World Cup debut.
Fakhar Zaman has not been very consistent in recent matches. He did not play in Pakistan’s games in the current tournament. He is expected to make an impact against India.
His last appearance was in the home T20I series against Australia. He scored 10 runs in each of his two matches.
In T20 Internationals, India and Pakistan have played 16 matches. India have won 13 of them. Pakistan have won three.
In T20 World Cup matches, the two teams have faced each other eight times. India have won seven matches. Pakistan have won one. This record shows the strong rivalry between the two sides.
