USA defeated Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 in a Super Over to cause one of the biggest upsets ever in the cricket history. Babar Azam said after the loss that he is disappointed that his team is not performing the way it should in all three formats. There are bound to be several changes in Pakistan’s approach and a few in their playing XI before the do or die match against India.
The top order of Pakistan completely failed against USA and Saim Ayub could make his re-entry in the team. Also, Azam Khan could miss out to make way for Imad Wasim. Haris Rauf can also be replaced by Mohammad Abbas Afridi. On the other hand, India is expected to play the same team. Kuldeep Yadav might be played but since India comfortably won against Ireland, there are not expected to be any changes in the playing XI.
