Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Babar Azam
Another battle that could decide the outcome of the India vs Pakistan match is Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Babar Azam. While Babar will have the responsibility to give his team a solid start, the onus will be on Bhuvneshwar to give India early breakthroughs. Bhuvneshwar’s swinging abilities make him a genuine threat with the new ball. And if he manages to dismiss Babar cheaply, India will have the upper hand in the contest.
Bhuvneshwar has played 4 T20Is overall against Pakistan, taking 5 wickets with a best of 3/9. As far as Babar is concerned, he has played only one T20I against India and led his team to victory with a magnificent unbeaten 68 in the T20 World Cup match last year. India will be desperate to get rid of Babar as early as possible as the Pakistan skipper has the ability to bat his team to yet another win.
