The Pakistani captain has failed to make an impact with his bat in the Asia Cup. He would be the one player who will be itching to get a decent knock and there would not be a better occasion than an India-Pakistan match to do so.
His calm presence under pressure situations makes him a player to watch out for. Add to this, his brilliant captaincy and wicket-keeping skills, India would have a headache if they do not nullify his impact in the match.
Apart from these players, India would have to focus on youngsters such as Inam-ul-Haq and Hasan Ali too.
On the flip side, there would be very few worries that India needs to take care of before the match.
They would like to stabilize their, middle order for the future matches. Bringing in KL Rahul for Ambati Rayudu could be an option.
Also, India would want their wrist spinners to bring more impact into the game. India would be definite favourites to win this match.
