Pakistan's newly appointed ODI skipper, Sarfraz Ahmed, will have e a tough task to rally together a no.8 side

All-rounders

Faheem Ashraf will likely edge Imad Wasim as the all-rounder in the side

Faheem Ashraf excelled in the chase against Bangladesh with an exceptional 64 off 30 balls with four fours and as many sixes and is likely to be the only all-rounder in the Pakistan line-up. The match-winning knock should see him get a promotion to no.7 from the no.9 he batted in during the game against Bangladesh.

However, it will worry Pakistan that he has bowled nine wicketless overs in the warm-up games. Ashraf has 60 wickets in 38 List A games at a strike rate below 30, which is quite impressive. If he fails to grab his chance in the first two games, Imad Wasim could replace him in the line-up.
