WEBDESK: The Pakistan vs India game started off with Pakistan winning the toss and choosing to bat first against India in the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
“Looks like a good surface and doesn’t matter, so we want to bat first. If you play an ICC event, every game is important. The boys are familiar with the conditions and we’ve done well in this ground as well. Yeah, we lost the last game but it’s in the past for us,” said Muhammad Rizwan after winning the toss.
As for changes in the team for the Pak vs Ind, Fakhar Zaman who is out injured will be replaced by Imam-Ul-Haq
As for the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, this is what he had to say, “Doesn’t matter, and we will bowl first. It’s not the same surface but looks similar to what we played on, in the last game. It could get slower. Great opportunity to come out and do what we do as a team. The way we played the last game…it wasn’t easy for us and we had to work our way. You want to test yourself and be under pressure. We’re playing the same team.“
There will be no changes in the Indian side for the Pak vs Ind game from their previous encounter against Bangladesh.
