Looking forward to a few battles: Rohit & Rahul vs Shaheen, Rahul vs Shadab & Nawaz, Kohli vs Shadab & Nawaz, Pandya & Surya vs Nawaz. If Pant plays, he could struggle against anyone but right arm pace. I do think Iftikhar could bowl well to Kohli and Pandya if used. #T20WorldCup
Pakistan could bowl an over of Shadab in the powerplay if needed. Apart from Rohit, he could be effective against both Rahul and Kohli. If Surya is batting in the powerplay, Nawaz could be used too. Nawaz could be effective against Rohit in PP too. #T20WorldCup
In the middle overs, Nawaz and Shadab could be v useful as India don't have a left-handed batter (if Pant doesn't play) and apart from Surya no other batter go could after Shadab's leg spin at will in the middle. #T20WorldCup #INDvPAK
Iftikhar could well be used in the middle, don't think anyone other than Rahul would target a specialist off-spinner there but with Iftikhar they may take a risk or two. In the death, Pakistan will definitely try Shaheen and Haris so that's a given. #T20WorldCup
Naseem Shah vs Rahul & Rohit should be v interesting too, he will have Shaheen as his new ball partner for the first time and will be even more dangerous especially in the first couple of overs. Both Shaheen and Naseem in the powerplay are a blessing. #T20WorldCup
Haris clearly would have loved a few left-handed batters in the opposition team, India don't have Jadeja and may not play Pant. But if they do play Pant or Axar, Haris could be used against them. Should be interesting when he bowls to Miller & Rossouw vs Africa too. #T20WorldCup
