India vs Pakistan Dream11

IND vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: India and Pakistan are set to lock horns in another mouthwatering encounter between the arch rivals. The hype of the game is evergreen and fans of both teams make this encounter a festival. Talking about the teams, Pakistan look quite settled after the return of Shaheen Afridi. Moreover, a few of the middle order batters have also chipped in the recently concluded tri series in New Zealand. India, on the other hand, will miss the services of their express pace bowler, Jasprit Bumrah due to a back spasm. This makes the Indian death bowling a major cause of concern, however Shami has showed signs of form in the warm up game against Australia.

India vs Pakistan Pitch Report

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is a historic cricketing venue. The pitch in Melbourne usually offers some nice pace and bounce but the batters do get value for their shots.So, basically it is a sporting wicket for both the batters and bowlers.However, spinners do not really have a big role to play at this venue. According to the weather forecast, there is 80-100% chance of rainfall. All we could wish and pray for is that rain does not play a spoil sport on one of the biggest matches of the tournament. 

Last result at the venue

Australia(154/6 in 20 overs) lost to Sri Lanka(155/5 in 19.5 overs) by 5 wickets.

  • Their batters include Babar and Rizwan, who hold the key to their success. One out of the two has to stay till the end to get their team through.

  • The pace bowling options have always been evergreen for Pakistan and with the addition of Shaheen Shah Afridi it can only get better. Pakistan arguably have one of the best bowling lineups in the tournament.
