India and Pakistan will clash in a crucial game of the World Cup 2023. Both teams are still undefeated and a win in Ahmedabad will get them closer to the semifinal berth. India defeated Australia in the first match and backed it with a win over Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Pakistan picked up a win over Netherlands in the first game and then defeated Sri Lanka in the second match.
The Men in Blue seem to have all bases covers, with most of the batters having got runs under the belt. The bowlers are also in great rhythm. For Pakistan, Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique scored centuries against Sri Lanka, but the team is sweating over Babar Azam, who has scored just 15 run in two matches. Pakistan’s bowling is also a big concern as barring Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, there don’t seem to be a genuine wicket-taker.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.
It’s a good batting surface. In the first match played here, New Zealand chased the score of 282 with nine wickets to spare in just 36 overs. A high scoring match is again expected at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
As per accuWeather, the sky is expected to be clear but the metrological department has given warning of a few light showers in the city on the day of the match.
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur/Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav
Babar Azam (c), Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz/Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi,
Shubman Gill has reached Ahmedabad and even batted in nets for an hour. But Gill is unlikely to play. India may also consider bringing in Suryakumar Yadav, though very unlikely, in place of Shardul Thakur to strengthen their batting.
Pakistan though don’t have much options and are likely to field the same team. Shaheen Afridi picked up an injury against Sri Lanka but he should be fit to play.
Pakistan have an overall lead over India in head to head records but India have a 7-0 record when it comes to ODI World Cups.

Rohit Sharma regained form ahead of the Pakistan clash with a brutal century against Afghanistan. Rohit has had troubles against Shaheen Afridi but if he gets through the new ball, it will be very tough for Pakistan to stop him.
Virat Kohli has also started the tournament with a bang. Kohli has scored 85 against Australia and backed it up with 55 against Afghanistan. Kohli is a modern day great in limited overs cricket and will give tough times to Pakistan bowlers if he stays at the wicket for long.
Jasprit Bumrah has been top notch as ever. He picked up a four wicket haul against Afghans. The quality bowler Bumrah is, Pakistan batters need to be very careful against him as he can knock them early out of the game.
Babar Azam will have to play a crucial role if Pakistan have to upset India. Babar has scored just 15 runs so far in World Cup and fans will be hoping that he has secured his best for the big game vs India.
An on song Haris Rauf can be very hard to face. Pakistan will hope the fiery pacer is at his peak as it will make the match very interesting. Haris is a sort of bowler who can take 4-5 wickets in a spell and turn the game on his head.
