IND vs PAK T20 World Cup, Predicted XI: Find out the latest team news and the predicted playing eleven of both India and Pakistan for the T20 World Cup 2022 match at Melbourne here

The Indian cricket team led by Rohit Sharma will definitely miss Jasprit Bumrah at the T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan. Pakistan on the other hand have the services of Shaheen Afridi available to them whom they missed in the Asia Cup. Thus the match-up between Shaheen and the Indian top order is going to be a mouth-watering clash. 

Here's how the Playing 11 of India and Pakistan would look like

The Indian team will be going with Mohammed Shami in the starting lineup, especially after how he won the warm-up match against Australia in the last over. Apart from his inclusion, which will be in place of Harshal Patel in all probability, the rest of the team line-up will remain the same as the one that played in the Asia Cup.

Pakistan have made several changes from the side that played the Asia Cup. Fakhar Zaman is out while Haider Ali and Shan Masood have come in. The fact that Mohammed Nawaz and Shadab Khan can bat properly makes the balance all the more solid with three fast bowlers.

Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin/Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel/Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
