IND vs PAK Key battles:

Abhishek Sharma vs Shaheen Afridi

India's aggressive left-handed opening batter, Abhishek, would be itching to get among the runs after failing to make a significant contribution in the previous match against Oman

Abhishek will be up against Shaheen Afridi, who guided the team to a win in the do-or-die game against the UAE, courtesy of an all-round performance, and would like to keep up the good work

Suryakumar Yadav vs Haris Rauf

India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, who didn't bat in the match against Oman despite India losing eight wickets while batting first, will look to make up for it in the upcoming game against Pakistan.

Surya will face the challenge of Haris Rauf, who picked up a couple of wickets against the UAE, and will hope to deliver a similar performance against India.

Saim Ayub vs Jasprit Bumrah

Saim Ayub would like to get off the mark in the 2025 Asia Cup, having got out on duck in all three group stage matches.

Ayub will go head-to-head against Jasprit Bumrah, who is expected to be back in India's playing XI after being rested for the match against Oman

Fakhar Zaman vs Varun Chakaravarthy

Pakistani batter Fakhar Zaman, who scored a fifty in what otherwise was a disappointing effort with the bat from Pakistan against the UAE, would like to carry that form in the match against India.

Fakhar will have to tackle the bowling of Varun Chakaravarthy, who will pose a big challenge for the Pakistani batter in the middle overs

IND vs PAK Key Players:

IND- Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav

PAK- Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi

Conclusion

As far as Pakistan is concerned, the Men in Green would like to build on the hard-fought win they registered against the UAE in their last group stage game by putting on a spirited performance against India.
