India
Team India has not lost to Pakistan in their three previous meetings of the T20 World Cups. The team led by MS Dhoni has played brilliantly against their arch rivals. However, there are several issues which need to be solved before this match. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have found life difficult in the shortest format of the game while the Indian bowlers are not reliable. Rohit Sharma in particular has become a burden on the team who is just not finding a way to score runs. The same could be said about fast bowlers. Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Varun Aaron are not death bowlers and have been taken for plenty by the batsmen. The good news for the Indian team is the form of Virat Kohli and the return of Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni. These four can win matches from any situation. Even Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin are effective bowlers on the sub-continent pitches.
Pakistan
Pakistan is the most successful team in the T20 World Cups. This is one format which has seen the best of their players. Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi can dismantle any bowling unit. They have won several matches for their side and containing them won't be easy for the Indian bowlers. These four can clear boundaries on consistent basis. Pakistan has a bowling to die for. Saeed Ajmal is the best spinner in the business at the moment while Junaid Khan and Umar Gul are capable of winning matches. Their Yorkers are not easy to negotiate, which could spell trouble for the Indian batsmen.
Verdict
My heart is with the Indian team but let me get the fact right. India is not playing smart cricket while Pakistan has improved a lot in the last few matches. Pakistan is looking strong enough to win their first ever T20 game against the Men in Blue in the T20 World Cups.
India (possible playing XI): 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 7 Ajinkya Rahane/Stuart Binny/Amit Mishra/Varun Aaron/Mohit Sharma, 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 R Ashwin, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Mohammed Shami.
Pakistan (possible playing XI): 1 Kamran Akmal (wk), 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Mohammad Hafeez (capt.), 4 Umar Akmal, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Sohaib Maqsood, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Bilawal Bhatti, 9 Sohail Tanvir, 10 Umar Gul, 11 Saeed Ajmal.
