India vs Pakistan Live: India’s pace department
Pakistan has an edge on paper in this department, but India will believe that they have the ammunition to strike back in kind. The return of Jasprit Bumrah, who skipped the league match against Nepal, will bolster India’s bowling, while Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur can play the efficient support cast role. But once these two teams enter the arena, factors like playing 11, form, past records etc go irrelevant. It will be a storm force collision on the field.

India vs Pakistan Live: Pakistan’s fiery pace attack
Rohit and other Indian batters will be wary of the high-paced incoming deliveries of Shaheen Shah Afridi, but the Pakistan bowling unit has other equally explosive performers. Haris Rauf, with his express pace, is currently topping the Asia Cup bowling chart with 9 wickets from three matches, and seemed to have emerged from the shadows of Afridi (7 wickets). While Naseem Shah also has taken 7 wickets, ensuring no let off point for opposition batters.
