Pakistan will play their 5th match of Cricket World Cup 2019 tomorrow at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. They will take on India on Sunday, 16 June. The match will start at 9:30 AM GMT, 3:00 PM SLST, 8:30 PM NZDT, 10.30 am BST respectively, but can be delayed due to rain.
India started their world cup 2019 campaign perfectly by defeating South Africa by 6 wickets with 15 balls left. Their batting line and bowling both are enough to crush Pakistan easily, and take the Champions Trophy 2017 revenge.
On the other hand, Pakistani bowlers like Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Shoaib Malik, and Shadab khan are available to attack the batting line of team India, as Mohammad Amir took 5 wickets against Australia in the last game of the World Cup, which was won by Australia.
Mohammad Amir can be deadly for India if top-order batsmen don’t take Amir seriously.
This is a must-win game for Pakistan to stay in the World Cup and qualify for the semi-finals. For the must-win against India, bowlers have to get quick wickets for their team. Their key bowlers have to bowl perfectly on line and length. Top-order batsmen of Pakistan are giving their 100% response, which is good for the Pakistan team to give a big total to their opponent. India has the best bowling attack and best all-rounders which is enough to defeat Pakistan.
Pakistan and Australia will look for a great win to qualify for the semi-finals and to improve their NRR, especially Pakistan. Pakistan has now gained momentum which may be easy to defeat India.
If Pakistan wins from India by a big margin they will automatically gain the 4th position in the points table and their NRR will be improved also which is great news for the Pakistan team and their fans. Pakistan has now gained momentum which may be easy to defeat India tomorrow.
Pakistan has to do defensive batting against India to win the match. They must have to go with their fast bowlers to attack the batting line of their opponent India.
