Indian cricket team would be all set to clash against Pakistan on 2nd September at Pallekele, Sri Lanka. ]. The batting sensation Shubman Gill would be targeted by Shaheen Afridi & Co. Shubman Gill had a forgettable Caribbean tour as he was in two minds whether to attack or defend and got into the shell.
Shubman Gill along with Ishan Kishan would be keen to stamp their authority ahead of ODI WC 2023. Shubman perhaps needs to play his natural attacking brand of cricket and use the crease to disturb the bowlers’ rhythm against the likes of Naseem Shah & Haris Rauf.
I believe India is ready for the competition- Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh was having an interaction with the India Today group and said that it would be a huge match for someone like Shubman Gill which is his maiden India vs Pakistan encounter. Harbhajan Singh was quite sure that India was ready for the Asia Cup 2023 competition.
“Someone like Shubman Gill will be playing his first match against Pakistan, in a high-voltage match. He will be keen to perform. I believe India is ready for this competition,” said Harbhajan Singh.
Crucial match on Cards
Pakistan’s bowling unit would be pumped up as the way they dismantled Nepal’s batting lineup says a lot about the team’s dynamics. Skipper Babar Azam would be considering bringing the seasoned all-rounder Faheem Ashraf into the side who has similar traits to India’s Hardik Pandya.
Pakistan needs someone who could make an impact in the middle overs phase. The wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan perhaps needs to change his batting approach against the spinners if the side wants to be in a state of ascendancy. All eyes will be on Iftikhar Ahmed who not only struck a breathtaking ton against Nepal but took the opponent by surprise with his wide range of shots.
