INDIA
Rohit Sharma led Indian team could rest their star players to keep them fresh ahead of the Pakistan match. The opening batsmen – Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma should flourish for the Indian team to hold onto the trophy. KL Rahul could be rested after a tiring England tour and Ambati Rayudu could fill his place. Manish Pandey and Kedhar Jadhav also add strength to the playing XI. The bowling unit trump cards – Kuldeep yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar could be rested to play against the arch-rivals. Hence, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur and Khaleel Ahmed are likely to get their playing prospect.
HONG KONG
It is likely that Hong Kong will retain the same playing XI despite losing their last match against Pakistan. The team will need to perk up their batting skills after a poor show. The batting lineup will depend on Babar Hayat and Anshuman Rath who are the leading run-scorers for the team. Kinchit Shah and Aizaz Khan are other key batsmen for Hong Kong. Ehsan Khan was very good with the ball as he picked two wickets against Pakistan. The squad will also depend on Tanwir Afzal and Nadeem Ahmed in the bowling attack.
