Team News
Shubman Gill has rejoined the squad after recovering from dengue. He also practiced with the team on the eve of the game. If the management feels he is 100% fit, Gill can make a return to the XI. However, a call on his inclusion will only be taken on the morning of the game.
Grand League Punts
> Pakistan spinners have not been in great form of late. Since Asia Cup 2023, they average 45.3 at an economy of 6. Shreyas Iyer is one of the best batters of spin bowling worldwide and can create a big difference.
> Babar Azam averages 57.6 in ODIs since 2022. He has had a dull start to the tournament but is certainly a batter who can win a game on his own.
> Virat Kohli average 55.2 against Pakistan at a strike-rate of 100.6. This year, he averages 62.7. In hot form, Virat Kohli is a good captaincy material to earn you big bucks.
