Preview
India and Pakistan will play the 16th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday (October 23) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This will be the third T20I game this year between the two arch-rivals and both have won one game each. Pakistan defeated India in the last game in the Asia Cup by five wickets after suffering a defeat in the first one by the same margin.
India lost the last time they faced Pakistan in the T20 World Cup by a huge margin of ten wickets. The Indian batters failed to pose a threat against the Pakistani bowlers and failed to post a challenging total in that game. Shaheen Shah Afridi played a key role for the team and also won the Player of the Match award for his bowling spell of three for 31. He sustained a knee injury before the start of the Asia Cup in August and missed the entire tournament followed by the seven-match T20I series against England. He, however, made a return to the side for the warm-up games against England and Afghanistan. After failing to pick a wicket against England, he returned with a figure of two for 29 against Afghanistan.
India will be missing the services of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah in this tournament. Mohammad Shami has replaced Bumrah in the side and played a significant role for the team in the warm-up game against Australia. The Indian batting unit has looked very sharp in the last few months and it will be interesting to see how they will respond to the bowlers this time.

Player Picks
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
He is the number one ranked batter in the T20I rankings and has been one of the in-form batters for Pakistan in recent times. In 18 T20Is this year, he has made a total of 821 runs at an average of 54.73 and a strike rate of 126.3 including nine half-centuries.
KL Rahul IND | BAT
He has scored half-centuries in his last four outings for the Indian team. He has scored a total of 2137 runs in 66 T20Is at an average of 39.57 and a strike rate of 140.4. He is likely to play a key role for the team with the bat in this game.
Axar Patel IND | ALL
He has been picked in the side in place of Ravindra Jadeja and has been one of the underrated bowlers for the team in the recent few months. He has taken 18 wickets in 17 T20Is at an average of 21.38 this year.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
He won the Player of the Match award last time when he played against India. He missed a lot of matches for Pakistan this year due to injury and has featured in only one T20I so far. Last year, he picked 23 wickets in 21 T20Is at an average of 26.04. Pakistan will be hoping that he finds the same rhythm this year as well.
Suryakumar Yadav IND | BAT
He made his T20I debut last year in March against England and has been the leading run-scorer for India since his debut. He is the only batter who has scored over 1000 runs in T20Is for India since 2021. He is also the highest-ranked Indian batter in the rankings currently.
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
He is the leading run-scorer for Pakistan in T20Is and is the only batter who has scored over 3000 runs for the team. He made 192 runs in five matches of the Tri-Series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.
Arshdeep Singh IND | BOWL
He picked five wickets in three practice matches and has been one of the best bowlers for India in recent times. He has taken 19 wickets in 13 T20Is at an average of 19.78 since making his debut for the team this year in July.
Mohammed Shami IND | BOWL
He changed the course of the warm-up game against Australia in just one over. He picked four wickets on the last four deliveries of the match including a run-out and helped India win the game by a mere margin of six runs.
Haris Rauf PAK | BOWL
He has been one of the top bowlers for Pakistan in recent times. He has taken 48 wickets in 39 T20Is since 2021 and is the leading wicket-taker for the team in this time period. He is the highest-ranked bowler for Pakistan in the rankings.
