Pacers
Indian pacers have been brilliant in the series. Both Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have been doing an excellent job both with the new ball and at the death.
Apart from these two, there is also one more pace in the Indian squad and the team management could give him a chance to express himself in an inconsequential tie.
Shardul Thakur, who has been travelling with the Indian squad for a while, could get a look-in if the team management wants to experiment in this match.
If Thakur makes his debut, he is likely to replace Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has bowled very well in the series without getting any rewards.
Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the leading wicket-taker in the series, will retain his place in playing XI not just because he has been bowling well, but because he has already had enough rest after the Champions Trophy.
