India vs Pakistan: Key Players To Watch Out For
Hardik Pandya: Always a critical cog in India’s wheels, premier all-rounder Pandya looked in terrific form in the win over the Namibians in Delhi. He played a magnificent knock of 52 off 28 balls and later delivered a spell of 2/21 off his 4 overs.

Varun Chakravarthy: The mystery spinner will be keen to continue on his merry ways with the ball after picking up figures of 3 for 7 in the win against Namibia. He could prove to be a match-winner for India on a dry and tricky surface in Colombo.

Sahibzada Farhan: An aggressive top-order player, he was terrific in the last game versus the USA. The right-hand batter smashed 73 off 41 deliveries, including 6 fours and 5 sixes.
Usman Tariq: One of the influential aspects of the fixture could be how well Indian batters adjust to the unorthodox spin of Tariq. The right-arm bowler, whose action has been the subject of scrutiny and debate, could well be a trump card for Pakistan after taking 3 for 27 in the last match.
Which Team Has The Upper Hand?
India. The formidable side has an abundance of skill and depth to overcome any challenge thrown its way. Suryakumar Yadav’s men should be good enough to secure their fourth consecutive win over Pakistan.
