Time will stop in India and Pakistan for fans when the different sides meet following two years in a World Cup game on Sunday in Dubai. While Babar Azam-drove Pakistan would hope to do what no other group from the nation has done previously, Virat Kohli would hope to keep India's marvelous record against the most despised opponents at the World Cup unblemished. However, once more, given the configuration – nothing can be anticipated.
On top of things, ex-India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh talked on Sportskeeda and figured Pakistan is 'flighty' and can beat anybody. On paper, the two groups look very much coordinated, yet India would in any case begin top choices given their lucky WC record against Pakistan. "Not right to look at the different sides, but rather indeed, Pakistan are erratic and can beat anybody. The two groups play an alternate brand of cricket" Harbhajan said while talking on Sportskeeda.
“No point looking at the stats, it is about who performs best on the given day. It is India versus Pakistan and hence it will be interesting,” he added.
Going by the record of the two sides in the past five years as well, there is not a lot to choose from. Pakistan has played 71 matches and won 46 of them, while India played 72 matches and came up on top on 45 occasions.
Pakistan: Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Haider Ali, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi.
