Let’s hope things pan out happy and sunny as we watch arch-rivals India and Pakistan face off in the biggest match of this World Cup. Team India has won the previous 6 encounters between the two teams in World Cup cricket. Here is all you need to read for both the teams before picking your Fantain XI.

Team News:

India

India is fourth on the points table with 2 wins and one abandoned match. Easily the favourites in this match, India has the upper hand thanks to their clinical performance, cohesive teamwork and strong partnerships.

While Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out, India will bring in Vijay Shankar or Dinesh Karthik to ensure that there are no gaps in the top batting order.

Squad:

MS Dhoni (wk), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kedar Jadhav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Lokesh Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya

Pakistan

8th on the table with 2 losses from 3 matches, things are not looking good for Pakistan. One of the most volatile matches in the world of cricket, they either rise like a phoenix from the ashes or crumble like a cookie.

There are some very strong players in the team today that bring in both experience and aggression to build up a strong total for their pacers to defend.

Squad:

Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed (c & wk), Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir, Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Asif Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali

Top Picks

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: A lot of the runs that India will make against Pakistan will most likely come from these two smashers.

B Kumar and Y Chahal: These two bowlers have held the fort when it comes to breaking crucial partnerships. The combination of pace and spin has worked very well for India

F Zaman and Mhd Hafeez: Pakistan’s batting, if it should hold steady, depends on Zaman and Hafeez. Some load should be taken off Babar Azam for him to be able to play his usual style.

Fantain Fantasy XI:

Batsmen: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Fakhar Zaman

Bowlers: M Amir, W Riaz, Y Chahal, B Kumar / J Bumrah

All-Rounders: M Hafeez, Hardik Pandya, Shadab Khan

WK: Sarfraz Ahmed
