Australia v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy

Shoaib Malik has all the experience in the world to trouble India, and he loves playing against India, and has an exceptional record against them.

The Pakistani side doesn't have much experience in their line-up, especially after the unceremonious exit of Hafeez from the squad. Lack of experience can hurt them. Shoaib Malik brings in the much-needed experience and India would like to keep Malik quiet in order to come up trumps.

Overall, Malik has played 266 ODIs and scored 7,015 runs at an average of 35.07. Against India, his average goes up to 47.45, which is a sign that Malik would be licking his lips at the sight of the Indian team.
