India vs Pakistan Dream11 Prediction: Players to Watch
India
Eyes will be on the usual suspects when it comes to the Indian squad. In any match for the national team, and especially against Pakistan, Virat Kohli will be the one to look out for. The form of team captain Rohit Sharma will be the key to the Men in Blue’s success in the tournament
Expectations will be through the roof for India’s young batsmen – Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan. While Kishan found some form in an otherwise disappointing tour to West Indies, Gill will be looking to find his sublime form from earlier in the year, where he scored five international centuries and four IPL 100s in the first six months of 2023.
With KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah set to make long-awaited comebacks, it will be interesting to see whether they gather some momentum before the World Cup later this year.
Pakistan
Pakistan, as always, will rely heavily on their pace factory to generate results for the team. But unlike the legendary teams of the past, the nation is now producing a crop of world-class batters on an equal footing to their bowlers.
With the no. 1 ODI batter in the world and team captain Babar Azam leading the charge, backed by an in-form Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, and vice-captain Mohammad Rizwan. The team looks like an excellent limited-format unit. These big names will be backed by young names like Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Haris.
It is Pakistan’s bowling where they shine the brightest. With the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah having already performed well against India in previous encounters.

India vs Pakistan Dream11 Predictions: In what is set to be the biggest group stage match of the tournament, both teams will be playing for pride, as both are expected to make it to the Super 4 ahead of minnows Nepal. Despite that, there is no match more important on the calendar of both – India and Pakistan than when they face off against each other.
The pitch of the Pallekele International Stadium usually favors the batters, with not much help for the pace bowlers. The win percentage of the team batting first and the one batting second is nearly identical, suggesting that the pitch does not change too much throughout the match.
