Will there be a change in Indias playing XI?

Except for Virat Kohli (57) and Rishabh Pant (39), no batsman could play against Pakistan. At the same time, the bowlers also performed poorly. However, despite the loss in the first match, Indias playing XI is likely to have only one change.

All-rounder Shardul Thakur can be entered in place of bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the Indian team. Shardul bowled effectively on UAE pitches during the second phase of IPL 2021. Earlier, Shardul had garnered a lot of accolades during the England tour with the ball and the bat.

Kiwi team can give this player a chance

New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson was ruled out of the match against Pakistan due to a calf muscle injury. The Kiwis have included reserve player Adam Milne in the squad in place of Ferguson. The 29-year-old fast bowler was supposed to play in the match against Pakistan but upon reaching the ground it was found that he was not approved by the ICC. In such a situation, now Milne is likely to take the field in front of India. He was a part of Mumbai Indians in the recently concluded 14th season of IPL. He has played 23 international matches for New Zealand and has taken 28 wickets at an economy rate of 7.7.

Pitch report

A high voltage match will be played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) on the Dubai ground. It has been seen so far that the team batting in the second innings at Dubais ground has an advantage, as the fielding teams difficulties increase due to the dew.

The pitch is expected to be of help to the spinners once again. But fast bowlers can take wickets by bowling on precise lines and lengths. The team winning the toss will want to bowl first, as it is a difficult task to put the correct total on the board while batting first in the UAE.

Weather conditions

The high voltage match between IND vs NZ will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The match is bound to be an exciting one as both the India and New Zealand teams will look to do their best for the first win.

In the post-match press conference, Babar Azam said, We started well with the ball and got a lot of wickets as per the plan. Maybe in the end we gave 10-15 runs more. With the bat, we could not take as much advantage of the powerplay as we wanted. Finally with Malik and Asif Ali we knew they could finish the game

Asif Ali also played the role of finisher in Pakistans victory. Asif played a stormy inning of 25 runs in seven balls, which included four sixes. Now Pakistan will face Namibia and Scotland in their last two matches.

Babar said,

He (Asif Ali) is known for this. I was confident even before the start of the tournament that he would do well if needed. We had well prepared our plan with the ball. The spinners were getting some help from the track.
Afghanistan also have good bowlers and I was trying to take it as deep as I could. Unfortunately, I couldnt finish things but credit goes to Asif Ali

AFG vs PAK Match Preview, Today Match Prediction T20 World Cup 2021

By Arjit - October 29, 2021 - Last updated on Oct 29, 2021 04:29 PM 

AFG vs PAK Match Preview, Today Match Prediction T20 World Cup 2021, Afghanistan will come down with the intention of counterattacking Pakistan

Afghanistan team would like to avenge the seven-year-old defeat in the match against Pakistan. With this, the winning team in this match will reach the top of the second group. Afghanistan has the best run rate in T20 World Cup 2021.

AFG vs PAK Match Preview, Today Match Prediction T20 World Cup 2021

The skills and maturity of Afghanistans impressive batsmen will be put to the test in Group 2 of the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup in the face of a strong Pakistan bowling attack buoyed by two consecutive wins. Wins over India and New Zealand have boosted Pakistans morale but there has been a sudden change in their performance which Afghanistan can take advantage of.

Babar Azams team will be a contender for victory

The Babar Azam-led side will certainly start as the contenders to win the match but Afghanistan cannot be taken lightly. He is capable of challenging any team in the presence of batsmen with crisp shots and world-class spinners. Afghanistans batsmen dominated the Scottish bowlers in the previous match with their powerful shots but now they face an attack that is considered to be the most dangerous in the competition.

Afghanistan batsmen will be tested in front of Pakistani bowlers

Afghanistan batsmen cannot blindly bat in front of Pakistan bowlers and they have to bat carefully. If Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Najibullah Zadran are adept at setting shots all around the field, then world-class spinners like Rashid Khan and Mujeeb-ur Rahman make Afghanistan a very balanced team.

Afghanistan will have to bat first after winning the toss

For Afghanistan, winning the toss and batting first would be the best option as Rashid and Mujeeb have the ability to curb even the best batsmen in the world. After that, the batsmen can strategize according to the conditions. They dont lack the spirit but they dont have the experience to handle the pressure of big matches.

Shaheen, Hasan, and Rauf are in good form

The way Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hasan Ali, and Haris Rauf have troubled the batsmen so far, it can be said that Afghanistans batsmen will be tested hard against this trio of fast bowling Pakistan. Apart from this, Pakistans spin department has experienced off-spinners Mohammad Hafeez, Imad Wasim, and Shadab Khan, making the challenge for Afghanistan very tough. In such a situation, if Afghanistan has to win the match, then its bowlers will have to put pressure on the Pakistani batsmen.

Teams responsibility will be on Pakistani opening pair

Captain Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have played a good role in Pakistans top order so far. If both fail, Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez will have to take charge. A third consecutive win will boost Pakistans hopes of reaching the semi-finals as they will then face relatively weaker teams like Scotland and Namibia.

Probable Playing XIs for AFG vs PAK:

Pakistan

Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi

Afghanistan

Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Asghar Afghan, Karim Janat, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Pakistan vs Afghanistan Match Pitch Report:

Today the 24th match of T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between Pakistan and Afghanistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The match will start at 7:30 pm. Babar Azam-led Pakistan team is in excellent form at the moment and has defeated India and New Zealand in the first two matches. On the other hand, Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan started their campaign with a bang in the T20 World Cup 2021 and defeated Scotland by a huge margin of 130 runs. If both the teams are face to face today, then the match is expected to be very exciting. If the Afghanistan team beats Pakistan, then they will be removed from the top because their run rate is superb.

What will be the pitch of the Pakistan-Afghanistan match? (Pakistan vs Afghanistan Pitch Report)

The high-scoring match can be seen between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Dubai is the only pitch that has been seen making big scores many times. By the way, the fast bowlers have also got a good advantage from the pitch here. Spinners have also spread their flair from time to time. So the great thing is that a good match can be seen between the ball and the bat. Whichever of the two teams becomes the boss of the toss, he will choose to bowl first. Due to dew in the second innings, the batting team will get a lot of advantage.

How will the weather in Dubai be today? (Dubai Weather Forecast Today)

It is summertime in Dubai and the Pakistan-Afghanistan match is to be played in the evening on Friday. It is expected that in the evening time, there is a hope of getting some relief from the heat. However, the players will face the challenge of humidity at the time of the match. The temperature in Sharjah will be around 42°C during the day and drop to 35°C in the evening. The sky will remain clear during the match and there is no chance of rain.

Also Read: T20 World Cup 2021 Schedule, Points Table

Humidity is likely to remain around 58 per cent and wind speed can reach 21 kmph. It is worth noting that during the second innings, there may be trouble due to dew. In such a situation, the team winning the toss can opt to bowl first.

IND vs PAK Match Preview, Today Match Prediction T20 World Cup 2021, After two years both the teams will face each other.

India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2021, Dubai: The T20 World Cup match will be played between India and Pakistan in Dubai today. After two years both the teams will face each other.

IND vs PAK Match Preview, IND vs PAK Match Prediction, India vs Pakistan Match Preview:

The Indian team, adorned with some of the greatest stars of the current generation of the cricket world, will face the Pakistani team with some unknown faces in the ICC T20 World Cup to be held here on Sunday. It is ready to be served again. The match between India and Pakistan is the center of attraction in any International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament as there is very little sporting activity in them given the sensitive nature of the relationship between the two countries.

Also Read: IND vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips

In such a situation, when the cricket teams of India and Pakistan come face to face in an ICC tournament, then the enthusiasm of the audience is also on the heights. If we talk about the ICC ODI and T20 World Cup, then India has won all 12 matches against Pakistan. The Indian team has defeated Pakistan in all five matches since the T20 World Cup started in 2007 and Virat Kohlis team is determined to continue this winning campaign.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for this match

India won all the matches in the T20 World Cup under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is here to accompany Kohli as a mentor. Dhonis presence alone is enough to give a headache to Babar Azam and his teammates. Still, it is a match that everyone is waiting for. From the ICC to the broadcasters, if they focus on making big money from this match, then the feelings of the fans are attached to it.

But T20 is such a format in which the victory of any team can not be considered as sure. Be it Sunil Gavaskar or Sourav Ganguly, everyone who understands this game very well understands that the difference between two teams in this format is very less and any one player can lead his team to victory.

Mistakes will not be tolerated in this match

It could also be Kohli who will be determined to return to form from this match. It could also be Shaheen Shah Afridi who will try to dominate the Indian top order. It could be Mohammad Rizwan or Mohammed Shami or Suryakumar Yadav. The players may have been saying that it is like another match for them but they also know very well that their poor performance in this age of technology will haunt them for years.

Also Read: T20 World Cup 2021 Schedule, Points Table

Who knows this better than the current chairman of the selection committee, Chetan Sharma, whose last ball was hit 35 years ago by Javed Miadad for a winning six. But cricket has changed a lot since then and now India has become the strongest force in cricket which has many good players. Cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah are not among the players to progress on the basis of previous matches or come under any kind of pressure.

There will be more pressure on Pakistan

There will be more pressure on Pakistan than on India. Players like Shaheen Afridi, Rizwan, Haris Rauf, and Babar not only have the responsibility of breaking the myth related to the World Cup against a world-class team, but they will also have to change the perception of the cricket world about Pakistan, due to which England and New Zealand recently announced their Pakistan. The tour was canceled.

Pakistan cricket has been facing an existential crisis in the last few years and in such a situation, a match against India may take some life in it but it will not be easy. Indian players are entering this tournament by playing in the Indian Premier League in UAE while Pakistan have been playing their home series here.

Tough competition for Indias playing 11

The strong side of Indian batting are its top five batsmen Rohit, KL Rahul, Kohli, Suryakumar, and Rishabh Pant. This is the kind of batting order that can blow Afridi, Rauf, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan. If Hardik Pandya plays only as a batsman, then Indias trouble will be with the sixth bowler.

In the bowling department, Bumrah, Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Varun Chakraborty are sure to be selected. Bhuvneshwar Kumars experience can give him priority over Shardul Thakur. Ravichandran Ashwin will get priority over Rahul Chahar if additional spinners are to be kept. However, the Indian team management can also make some surprising selections.

This will be the strength of Pakistan

As far as Pakistan is concerned, its main player is captain Babar who is batting well in all three formats. They will need proper cooperation from Shaheen Afridi in bowling. Imad, a left-arm spinner with a stellar record in the UAE, could spell trouble for the Indian middle order. Experienced Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez will also be desperate to take revenge on India.

India vs Pakistan Playing 11

India:

Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar Varun Chakraborty, Rahul Chahar

Pakistan (Last 12 Players):

Babar Azam (Captain), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haider Ali.

The match will start at 7.30 pm Indian time.

Weather conditions

The weather in Dubai is not very hot in the month of October. In such a situation, the same weather is expected on Sunday during the India-Pakistan match. On this day, the maximum temperature in Dubai is going to be 34 and the minimum is 26 degrees. The weather will be clear and there is no chance of rain. But dew will be a big factor in the match of the night.

Pitch Report

Some matches of the second phase of IPL 2021 were also played on this ground just before the World Cup. The league final also took place here. During that time the pitch of Dubai was a bit slow. Team India also played both their practice matches on this ground and even then the pitch did not show much change. However, the Indian batsmen performed well here and played a key role in the teams victory.

The role of the toss

So far 61 T20 Internationals have been played at this ground, in which the team batting first has won 34 while the team batting first has won 26 matches. During IPL 2021 also, 13 matches were played here, in which the run-chasing team won the maximum 9 matches, while the team batting first could achieve success in only 4 matches.

At present, the role of dew is going to be more here, which was also seen in practice matches and IPL. The dew makes it a bit easier to chase here. In such a situation, both the teams here would like to bowl first after winning the toss.

Why will the toss be important?

There have been a total of 12 matches between India and Pakistan including the ODI and T20 World Cup. Out of this, India has won the toss eight times. Seven times Team India has won matches while batting first. Team India batted first in the India-Pakistan match that was tied during the group round in the 2007 World Cup.

The highest score between the two teams-

India: 192/5 (Ahmedabad, 2012)

A minimum score between the two teams-
Pakistan: 83/10 (Asia Cup 2016, Dhaka)

Some statistics of Dubai International Stadium

T20 World Cup: England team will not give place to world number one player

 

T20 World Cup: England team will not give place to world number one player, David Malan may sit out due to team combination.

ICC T20 World Cup 2021: At least in their opening match, England is forced to keep the world number one T20 batsman out. The reason behind this is not any displeasure but the team combination due to which David Malan can sit out.

T20 World Cup: England team will not give place to world number one player, David Malan

If someone says that you drop Virat Kohli or Babar Azam from the playing XI of the ODI cricket team and players like Joe Root and Steve Smith from the Test team, then you will wonder how someone can drop the number one players. However, we can see this in the T20 World Cup 2021, when the world's number one T20 player may have to sit on the bench. Yes, we are talking about the world's number one T20 batsman David Malan.

Actually, the England team can keep David Malan out in the opening matches of the T20 World Cup. Malan is currently the world's number one batsman in the ICC T20 rankings and the England team is planning to leave him out. It has been revealed in The Telegraph report that the England team may keep David Malan out because of the combination. At the same time, in his place at number three, Moeen can give Ali a chance, who is making an impact with the ball as well as with the bat.

David Malans bat has not played in the two warm-up matches played before the T20 World Cup 2021. In such a situation, the team management can try Moeen Ali at number three against West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2021 opening match. In such a situation, Malan will be out of the playing XI, as Jason Roy and Jos Buttler already have their place in the top order. At the same time, if Moeen Ali plays at number three, then Jonny Bairstow will be at number four and captain Eoin Morgan at number five.

In this way, David Malan's place is not made in England playing XI. They do not match finishers. In such a situation, they will not be able to play lower order and in this situation, the team would like to go with Liam Livingstone, who also provides the option of bowling. Talking about David Malans T20 International career, he has scored 1123 runs in 30 matches at an average of 43. During this, his strike rate has been 139. He has scored one century and 11 half-centuries.

 

Today 8 teams including India and Pakistan will play warm-up matches.

Today 8 teams including India and Pakistan will play warm-up matches. There is still time for the Super 12 matches to start.

The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 has started with the matches of Round 1 but there is still time for the matches of Super 12 to start. However, even before this, you are going to see tough competitions.

Super 12 warmup match

Teams who have already qualified for the Super 12 will take on each other in their respective warm-up matches today in view of the preparations for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. India and Pakistan teams also have to play their respective warm-up matches today, where the Pakistan team will take on defending champion West Indies, while the Indian team will take on England team in their warm-up match. A total of four warm-up matches will be played today.

Also Read: T20 World Cup 2021 Schedule, Points Table

The last warm-up match of the day will be played between India and England at the ICC Cricket Ground in Dubai from 7:30 pm. The first warm-up match between Pakistan and West Indies will be played on this ground. The main stadiums are not being used because those grounds have recently played IPL matches and are being prepared for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. In such a situation, the main stadium will be available for matches.

All the teams have a chance to hone their preparations before the T20 World Cup 2021, as almost all the teams have been away from international cricket for a long time. However, the good thing is that most of the players have been busy in one or the other league or tournament. In such a situation, match fitness will not be a problem, but everyone will have a chance to regain their lost momentum.

At the same time, Kolkata team has reached the final only twice and won the title both times. Apart from 2012, Kolkata won the trophy in 2014 by defeating Punjab. In such a situation, this match is not going to be easy for Chennai, because KKRs win percentage in the final is 100 percent.

These players of CSK will prove to be a game-changer

Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, and Ravindra Jadeja have all done well with the bat for CSK. But they now have to face the spin trio of KKR like Varun Chakravarthy, Shakib Al Hasan, and Sunil Narine. The pitch in Dubai is good as compared to the slow pitch in Sharjah. In such a situation, Ambati Rayudu, Robin Uthappa, and Dhoni can be beneficial in the middle order for CSK. Apart from these, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Josh Hazlewood, and Dwayne Bravo have done better for CSK with the bowling.

Eyes will be on these players of KKR

Chennais Rituraj-Duplessis in fine form

Talking about the Chennai team, young Rituraj Gaikwad is running in excellent form. He has scored 603 runs in 15 matches and after scoring 24 runs, he will win the Orange Cap. At the same time, Faf du Plessis has scored 547 runs in 15 matches. It will be the responsibility of both of them to get off to a good start once again. At the same time, Robin Uthappa played a brilliant half-century in the last match at number three.

In this match too, he will be given preference over Suresh Raina. In the lower order, Dhoni, Moeen Ali, Dwayne Bravo, and Ravindra Jadeja can bowl aggressively. Even in front of Kolkata strong bowling line-up, captain Dhoni would be expecting a great performance from the batsmen.

Bravo and Deepak bowled brilliantly

The CSK bowlers also seem to be in good form. Shardul Thakur is looking in great form and has taken 18 wickets in 15 matches so far. Dwayne Bravo, Josh Hazlewood, and Deepak Chahar have supported him well so far. Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali will be seen handling the spin department.

Venkatesh Iyer turned Kolkata fortunes

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders, after struggling in the first phase, performed brilliantly in the second phase. In the second phase, the team has won seven out of nine matches so far. The team is full of confidence after winning the last four matches in a row. All the credit goes to the young batsman Venkatesh Iyer. He has scored 320 runs in nine matches at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 125. This includes three half-centuries.

Shubman Gill is also in good form. He has so far scored 427 runs in 16 matches this season with the help of two half-centuries. In the last two matches, Shubman and Venkatesh's excellent opening partnership has given Kolkata victory. Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Rana are also batting well. The matter of concern for Kolkata is the form of captain Eoin Morgan. He has scored 129 runs in 16 matches so far this season.

Among the bowlers, Varun Chakravarthy, star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, Lockie Ferguson, Sunil Narine and Shivam Mavi have bowled well and troubled the front. In the last two matches, this bowling line-up has troubled the strong batting line-up of Delhi and Bangalore. In such a situation, the batsmen of Chennai will have to bat carefully.
