Pakistan's expected playing XI for the clash against India

As the T20 World Cup has started now, Pakistan's team for India's match has been the thing everyone really wants to know.

Pakistan's choices for playing XI

 As far as Green shirts' playing XI for the match is concerned, there is no doubt that the openers will be captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-player Mohammad Rizwan. The couple have been in immensely supreme form in the current year, which is the reason of them having a high probability if opening the match against India during the World Cup. 

Haider Ali and Fakhar Zaman were the two choices viable for the one-down position. Haider's acceptable total runs in the recently ended National T20 Cup gave him edge over Fakhar, but the absence of left-handed hitters and his great thumps in the warm-up games, against South Africa and West Indies, have slant the chances for the biggest clash of the year.

Pakistan's captain Babar Azam called veteran all-rounders Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik as "match victors", in a new question and answer session, which is the why, there is a solid chance that the couple will be essential for the playing XI. 

Babar's point of view

Babar has consistently been a solid supporter of Malik's inclusion in the Pakistan side, particularly because of the team's middle order troubles, something which was likewise affirmed by sources in August this year. 

Pakistan's lower order

Asif Ali will be utilized as a finisher, while the twist office will be driven by Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim. 

Pakistan's speed battery is probably going to have Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf.
