Pakistan elect to bowl; Shankar included

June 16, 2019 14:38

Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the 22nd match of the ICC World Cup at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday.

India have made one change to their team as all-rounder Vijay Shankar replaces the injured Shikhar Dhawan.

India's bowling is quite formidable as Australia and South Africa found out earlier in the tournament. Jasprit Bumrah has been in red hot form in the last few years, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar also getting into the groove in the previous match against Australia, while all-rounders Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar and Kedar Jadhav can be handful with the ball.

Just like India, Pakistan have also gone in with two spinners in Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim, along with a strong pace attack in Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali and Wahab Riaz.
