| Vijay Shankar with Virat Kohli |
Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the World cup clash at Machester. Pakistan playing with two spinners as Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim are back. On the other hand, Vijay Shankar makes his World Cup debut as he replaces injured Shikhar Dhawan in the Indian playing XI.
India are favourites to win the match, having never lost a match to the 1992 champions in World Cup. Despite the buildup to the clash, the biggest discussion ahead of India vs Pakistan was the weather in Manchester and whether rains would allow the match to take place. Though it’s not raining at Manchester, overcast conditions prevail.
India (Playing XI):
Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
Pakistan (Playing XI):
Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w/c), Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir
