IND vs PAK: Probable Best Batsman of the Match: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Vaibhav Suryavanshi played an important cameo in the first game, scoring 38 runs off just 21 balls. He became frantic inside the powerplay and after the clever dismissals of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, his fellow batsmen got a chance to spend some time at the crease.

Suryavanshi will try to give his team another great start. Probable Best Bowler: Axar Patel Axar Patel bowled brilliantly, not just in the semi-final but in the preceding one-off game against Jan. The left-arm fast bowler has made good use of the conditions.

His ability to target the stumps and his subtle variations of pace will be tough for the opposition batters to handle. Today’s Match Prediction : India to win the match
