India's Playing XI and Pakistan's Playing XI
The high-octane clash is here. Rohit Sharma’s men will look to revenge last year’s humiliating 10-wicket loss. The MCG is packed with exciting crowd as it’s all emotional on the ground during the national anthem.
Rohit Sharma chose to field first after winning the toss, as the overcast condition helps to swing a bit. Here’s what he said during the toss:
“We are going to field first. Looks like a good pitch, it’s always nice with overcast conditions. Think the ball will swing around a bit. Preparations have been good. We played a couple of practice games in Brisbane. Time to come out and enjoy ourselves. We were expecting nothing less than this, hopefully we’ll entertain them. We have seven batters, three seamers and two spinners.
While Babar Azam thinks posting 160-170 would give a competitive target to the Indians. Babar’s team is confident as the Men in Green have won series previously. “
“Toss is not in our hands. We’ll try to post around 160-170. We have prepared well, and we are ready for this big game. We won a series back home, we played a tri-series in New Zealand, so we are prepared. We have three fast bowlers and two spinners,” Babar said.
India’s Playing XI: Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
