The team’s strategic choices highlight a focus on bolstering their batting depth, while also presenting a formidable array of bowling options.

With a trio of frontline fast bowlers and three spin-bowling all-rounders, Pakistan’s lineup showcases both versatility and depth in their bowling department. This selection is a departure from the XI that contested the final One Day International (ODI) against Afghanistan in Colombo, as the team makes calculated changes to adapt to the upcoming challenge.

Iftikhar Ahmed has been included in the middle-order, securing his position in the playing XI, while Saud Shakeel has made way for this adjustment. Pakistan’s strategy revolves around the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf to spearhead their pace attack.

In the spin department, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz will be joined by Salman Agha, adding depth to the team’s spin-bowling options and ensuring a well-rounded attack.

The batting lineup maintains a familiar composition, with Iftikhar Ahmed’s return to the middle-order after his absence in the final ODI against Afghanistan. This move aims to fortify the team’s batting prowess and provide stability in the crucial middle overs of the match.
