Battles you wish to see in the upcoming India versus Pakistan clash at the ICC T20 World Cup?

[MenInG]

Here are some ideas:

1. Rohit Sharma vs Shaheen Shah Afridi

2. Virat Kohli vs Shadab Khan/Hassan Ali

3. Jasprit Bumrah vs Babar Azam

4. Shoaib Malik-Mohammed Hafeez vs Ravindra Jadeja/Varun Chakravarthy

5. Mohammed Shami vs Fakhar Zaman/Mohammed Rizwan

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Bumrah vs Fakhar will be interesting. I know he's a MO batsman now, but if they face up, could be a nice duel given the CT history.

If Ashwin plays, I'd like to see how he goes against Babar.

Other than that how our openers do against Afridi & Hasan Ali will be interesting.

 

[JattMaula]

Bobby B vs Boom Boom.

 

[JattMaula]

Chota Afridi vs Hitman.

 

[drubwrubnat]

Im banking on these two matchups for India -

Hardik vs spinners
Pacers vs malik/hafeez

 

[happydavy]

Babar doesn't worry me at all, not because he's not a great player but bcoz until now he hasn't done anything special against India in the limited number of matches he has played against India. He can easily win Pakistan the match if batting 2nd they are chasing 140-150, he's unlikely to win if target is 170+. The Pak players in this squad who could worry me would be Shaheen bcoz i would assume Rohit and Kohli would be vulnerable against him and that could lead to a low score, and Asif Ali because he is perfectly capable of hitting 2 sixes of 2 balls against Jadeja/Hardik kinda bowlers.

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shaheen against our top 3.

Pant, Pandya against Imad, Shadab

Bumrah vs Babar and Fakhar

Our spinners against Hafeez/Malik

All good match-ups

 

[Mesozoic]

Kohli bowling to Babar

Oh you think Babar can handle that banana swing from our right arm quick

 

[jattafridi]

Hardik pandya vs shaheen Afridi

 

[ARK Rafay]

Honestly speaking will be very tough for Babar to face Kohli. Kohli has 100% record of bowling out KP.

 

[battler]

KL vs Hassan Ali

 

[IndianMafia]

I think Varun Chakravarthy will start ahead of Ashwin and he may bowl the very first over against Rizwan /Babar , will be interesting !

 

[MenInG]

To be honest some of these battles will be very nerve wracking for us supporters!

 

[globalcitizen]

Kohli vs Shaheen
Rahul vs hasan Ali
Rohit vs Imad
Bumrah vs Fakhar
Ashwin vs babar

 

[Walawalkar]

Babar vs Chakravarthy
Fakhar vs Bumrah
Sharma/ Surya vs Shaheen
Pandya vs Pakistani Spinners

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Fakhar vs Chakravarthy

 

[Majid Khan]

Hafeez v Kohli

The two best batsmen of this millennium in my humble opinion , although you could say Steven Smith comes close too, but I think Kohli just about edges him to join Hafeez in the top 2.

 

[shamaan]

Shaheen vs Rohit
Babar vs Bumrah
Kohli vs Hassan Ali

 

[Devadwal]

Sky /Pant/Pandya Vs Imad/ Shadab /hafeez
Fakhar/ Hafeez / Malik Vs Varun C /Jadeja

 

[moghul]

Im banking on these two matchups for India -

Hardik vs spinners
Pacers vs malik/hafeez

I can tell you Hafeez has no answer to Indian pacers.

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan pinning all hopes on Fakhar Zaman so anyone he comes across will be a battle to watch

Of course BA vs JB will be the big one and hopefully will last 4 overs!

Rahul vs Shaheen/Hassan Ali is the battle I am really looking forward to. Rahul looks like he is being given the aggressor role and Shaheen is really good in the power play. Fantastic match up!

 

[Varun]

Bumrah vs Fakhar Zaman.

If Bumrah oversteps again I'll strangle him.

 

[happydavy]

Let's all just hope that at the very least it's an interesting game. So often, India pakistan encounters become one sided so early in the game that the only interest left in the game is to read funny twitter feeds on the game.

Yeah I don't even remember some games like the 2019 WC or the 2014 WT20 matches.

Before Pakistan became a weak team, the only relatively anonymous fixture was the 1999 WC match which doesn't get talked about much.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Key will be Haris Rauf vs our batsmen. If he is sharp and bowling right areas, Pakistan will be a nightmare of a team. If, on the other hand, he bowls like the brainless rock thrower he has often proven to be, our bats should smash the bejesus out of his 4 overs - maybe for 60 runs.

And as I thought Shaheen afridi is proving to be a dangerman

 

[JattMaula]

Chota Afridi vs Hitman.

And what a battle. Lasted all of one ball.
