Delhi: It is certain that Pakistan would like to repeat its performance of the 2017 Champions Trophy (ICC Champions Trophy 2025). Then he became the champion and now has to defend that title. Many experts are counting the Pakistan team in the contender, but before that a special match is to be played against India on 23 February.
This is the match that Pakistan will definitely want to win. Now the issue is that what is the reason for 5 special reasons why Pakistan can beat India in this match:
5. Champions Trophy Record:
Pakistan’s record of victory and defeat in the history of the tournament makes him a favorite. India has defeated India in 3 out of 5 matches so far.
4. Dubai Factor:
Pakistan is the host, so the benefit of the home ground with them, but will play in Dubai against India. The record at Dubai International Cricket Stadium may not support Pakistan (just 8 wins in 21 ODIs), they can still put pressure in the February season.
The reason is the help to fast bowlers at Dubai Stadium. The ball swings in the beginning and the pitch gives a good bounce.
3. Paes Attack:
Pakistan has the right fast bowler to take advantage of this factor. Out of his pacer, only Mohammad Hasnain’s ODI record is not very good but Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah make the attack very strong.
Attacks can take wickets in total and in any round of the match. There is also no shortage of talent in Hasnain. Irfan Pathan also supported it and said because the circumstances in Dubai are right for the seam bowlers.
2. India’s attack, bonus for Pakistan:
India’s team will also help them such that they could not even expect. Jasprit is not Bumrah in the Indian team. Not only this, India selected 5 spinners in the team and that too when it is known to play in Dubai and not in Sharjah.
The pitch in Dubai does not help spin. If Kuldeep seated on the bench in the match, there will be more damage. Note, ILT20, which ended in UAE this month, has 9 fast bowlers out of those who took the top 10 wickets (Hasranga is the only spinner at number 10).
1. Now in their batting line-up form:
The top 4 batsman in the farm and also better ODI records. Apart from Saud Shakeel, all others have Shakeel Khabu on the batting average 43+ and diversify the line-up.
In this way, the batsman now a strong link for the team. Salman Ali Aga Finisher, who changes his batting style according to the need.
