Prediction #4: A confused Sarfraz Ahmed
The pressure of playing India in a world event will get the better of Sarfraz Ahmed and he is expected to be totally confused in this opening game. The Moon Reverse Card shows that the skipper will be under a lot of pressure to perform and take his side through to an uncanny victory. Sarfraz, however, will be erratic in his decision-making and his lack of clarity in terms of planning will lead to his team's downfall.
Other key Pakistan players
Ahmed Shehzad: The stylish right-hand batsman will be the key in the batting line up for the Pakistani outfit. The Hierophant Card indicates that his performance at the top of the order will be crucial as he is expected to have an outstanding day on the field. He will be the only bright spot in a rather disappointing day for his side.
Imad Wasim: The Death Card for the slow left-arm spinner indicates that he will be a surprise package in this encounter. Imad Wasim was impressive with his performances in the Caribbean Premier League and was soon drafted into the Pakistan squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. Wasim is known to have a variety of variations under his belt which batsmen find difficult to adjust and adapt to.
