India vs Pakistan: The match that fans around the world are waiting for is now about to end. Sunday is going to be a super Sunday for the fans, where the Rohit Sharma-led team will face Pakistan. This match to be held in Dubai promises explosive action.
India has started the campaign strongly with a win over Bangladesh in the tournament, while Pakistan lost to New Zealand in the first match. In such a situation, the importance of this match has increased a lot.
Fakhar Zaman Is Out Of The Tournament
There is no injured player in the Indian team before the match against Pakistan. In such a situation, Rohit and head coach Gautam Gambhir would like to play the same team, but there is a possibility of many changes in the line-up of the defending champion Pakistan team, as some players of the team are injured. The name of dangerous batsman Fakhar Zaman is included among the injured players, who has been ruled out of this tournament.

Who Will Get A Chance In Place Of Fakhar?
In such a situation, the team can give Usman Khan a chance to open in place of Fakhar. Saud Shakeel has scored only 15, 8 and 6 runs since his ODI comeback in the tri-series, while his ODI average is 24.71. After this performance, it is difficult for him to play in the important match against India. The team can also make changes in the middle order and give a chance to Kamran Ghulam.
Haris Rauf May Be Discharged
Fast bowler Haris Rauf, who returned from injury, gave away 83 runs in his quota of 10 overs against New Zealand. If the team makes a change, then Mohammad Hasnain or Faheem Ashraf can get a chance in his place. Ashraf played the final of the tri-series, but captain Rizwan did not trust him with the ball.
Probable playing XI of Pakistan against India: Usman Khan, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper/captain), Agha Salman, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Abrar Ahmed.
