IND vs PAK Dream11 Today Match Prediction: India won both their practice games while Pakistan won against West Indies but lost to South Africa in a tense game. Both the teams have warmed up well and are ready for the big stage. Pakistan have named their probable 12 and they are most likely to drop Haider Ali from the named 12 and play both their experienced veterans in Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez.
With Hardik Pandya not ready to bowl, India will be left with 5 bowling options with Virat Kohli being the 6th bowling option, it will be interesting to see how Virat Kohli manages things without that cushion of solid 6 bowling options.
Pakistan have only one left hand batter in Fakhar Zaman and India will have to choose between Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Chahar in the XI. Rahul Chahar will be an obvious choice considering the amount of RHBs Pakistan have but Varun Chakravarthy is the best spinner in India at the moment.
The fact that Varun Chakravarthy is not fully fit might tempt India to play Rahul Chahar and use Varun Chakravarthy later in the tournament against teams that has two or more left hand batters. India can ideally play all their 3 seamers who provide multi phase value with Ravindra Jadeja and Rahul Chahar as the spinners.

India are favorites going into the game. They are obviously the superior side on paper but Pakistan have resources under their disposal to overcome the mighty Indians. Pakistan have 3 pacers who are capable of bowling in high 140s and Indian middle order is susceptible to hard lengths which Pakistan can look to exploit if they can break the top order for nothing.
Pakistan have 3 quality players of spin bowling at the top of the order and it wont be an easy task for Indian bowlers to break the rock solid top 3.
Bet365- IND- 1 44, PAK- 2.75
