India enter as favourites after a dominant run, together with a clear sweep in opposition to UAE. The batting order options Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson, supported by all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. With Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the tempo assault and Kuldeep Yadav alongside Varun Chakaravarthy offering spin selection, India look well-balanced.
Pakistan boast a younger but dynamic squad. Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz carry promise, whereas veteran Fakhar Zaman provides stability. Their largest edge is bowling, led by left-arm fast Shaheen Afridi and a potent spin trio of Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Muqeem and Mohammad Nawaz.
