IND vs PAK Predicted 11 News

Here’s all you need to know about Rohit Sharma’s India vs Babar Azam-led Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Match No. 16 preview: Live stream, TV timing, squads.

India vs Pakistan: It is now almost certain that Pant, although full fit, will be sitting out from the India’s opening game of the Super 12 stage. Skipper Rohit Sharma will prefer to include Dinesh Karthik in the playing XI as the specialist wicketkeeper.

Hardik Pandya is a must in Team India's World Cup campaign as he bring balance to the bowling and much-needed depth in the batting lineup as well. The question still remains whether Rishabh Pant will get a chance or Dinesh Karthik will continue to be the first-choice keeper

Pakistan Predicted Playing XI: Pakistan have two pacers – Mohammad Hasnain and Hasan Ali – and a spinner in Usman Qadir on the bench as potential replacements for Shahnawaz Dahani.

Former India captain and number three batsman Virat Kohli showed a glimpse of form with 35 runs in 34 balls with the help of three boundaries and a four. 

Soon after the remarkable incident, many fans took to Twitter and hailed Fakhar's gesture.

Pakistan never recovered from three wickets lost in overs 11-15, as Asif Ali holed out on a slower off-cutter to long-off off Bhuvneshwar. Arshdeep came back to have Mohammad Nawaz nicking behind to Karthik.

Hardik removed Ahmed in the 13th over with a short ball outside off stump, Dinesh Karthik took a superb catch behind the stumps, and then he took the all-important wicket of M Rizwan who was racing towards his fifty. 

PCB Medical Advisory Committee and independent specialists advised rest for 4-6 weeks following latest scans, which effectively ruled Shaheen out of the two big series. 

Afridi will be a huge miss for Pakistan as he picked 3-31 in his four overs and became 'Player of the Match' in a 10-wicket victory when these two teams last met in the Men's T20 World Cup in 2021 at the venue which is now all geared up to host Sunday's Asia Cup Group A match.

Historically in T20Is, India has an overall edge over Pakistan. Ever since their first T20I meeting at ICC T20 World Cup 2007, both sides have clashed nine times in the shortest format of the game. India has won seven of these games while Pakistan has only won two matches.

IND vs PAK: Cheteshwar Pujara believes there is place for either of Pant or Karthik in the side for the Asia Cup 2022 game vs Pakistan, and he would go with the former.
