New Delhi: India will face arch-rival Pakistan in the men’s cricket final of the at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin.
The pitch offered uneven bounce and plenty of turn for the spinners, making Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi crucial alongside the experienced Jasprit Bumrah. Abhishek Sharma could also play a key role if the pitch offers significant turn.
At the other end, Pakistan will also heavily depend on their spinners, including Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Moqim, Saim Ayub and Arafat. India boast a strong batting line-up, with Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi likely to provide a solid start. Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube will add further depth in the middle order.
In comparison, Pakistan’s batting will largely depend on skipper Sahibzada, who had actually shot an advertorial documentary about what it felt like to smash Jasprit Bumrah for a six. Saim is another crucial player in Pakistan’s lineup and will be looking to make a bigger impact against India after limited success in previous meetings.
Hasan Nawaz and Abdul Samad could also play a key role in Pakistan’s batting lineup, who have done well against a full-strength Bangladesh side that included Litton Das, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam and Towhid Hridoy.
