IND vs PAK: Pakistan playing 11

Pakistan had dropped Hasan Ali for this series who has been in awful rhythm in the recent past. They also have included Haider Ali who can be an exciting prospect and if used properly according to his strengths, he is sure to come good. They have excellent batting depth along with variety in their bowling attack. They should really fancy themselves against an India without Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel.
