PLAYING COMBINATIONS

West Windies

Windies go into this game with a motivated side. After having being the stars of the IPL, this will be West Indian team’s first outing. They carried a similar form into the warm-up games of this tournament. Both Evin Lewis and Chris Gayle looked in-form, with Shai Hope scoring runs at will. Bravo will look to bounce out of his bad form to join his side in the old-bravo style. The one replacement that the team may consider could be to bring in the spinner, Ashley Nurse in place of Fabian Allen. The pace department will be managed by Gabriel, Roach, Cottrell, Holder and Russell.

Probable XI

Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shai Hope (WK), Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Andre Russell, Jason Holder (C), Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cottrell, Shannon Gabriel

Pakistan

Pakistan will heavily rely upon the trio in form: Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, each of whom scored centuries in the last ODI series. The weight of the middle order will be on the shoulders of Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez, which can be followed by Asif Ali’s attacking play. A big setback for the team may be the absence of Mohammad Amir, who was declared not completely fit for the game. His place in the team may be claimed by Imad Wasim. Shadab Khan will most likely be the only spinner on the side.

Probable XI

Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Asif Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed (C & WK), Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Wahab Riaz
