Virat Kohli, fresh from winning his second orange cap at the IPL, is likely to continue opening the innings for India, despite a disappointing start in their first match. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant seems to have solidified his spot at number three after impressive performances in warm-up games and against Ireland.
For Pakistan, Babar Azam has been a consistent performer at the top of the batting order. But to pose a serious challenge to India, they’ll need significant contributions from Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, and Fakhar Zaman, especially after their top-order struggled in the previous match against the US.
Considering the pitch conditions in Nassau County, which are expected to favor pacers, Pakistan will rely heavily on Afridi’s bowling prowess. The left-arm speedster has been impressive in powerplays, having taken the second-most wickets in T20s since 2019, just behind New Zealand’s Tim Southee.
