Pakistan will play their fourth match of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford against India on 16th June. The Men in Green are yet to savour success in the World Cup events against India as they have lost all the six matches against India. Thus, Sarfraz Ahmed and Co. will like to turn the tables. We take a look at Pakistan’s Predicted Playing XI.

On the other hand, India has had a good start to the tournament. The Men in Blue have won their first two matches whereas their last match against New Zealand was washed out. Hence, India will look to continue their good work going.

Here is Pakistan’s Predicted Playing XI.
