India vs Pakistan: Used Pitch Raises Concerns for IND Batters

  • The India-Pakistan match will be played on a 'used' surface, previously hosting Australia vs Zimbabwe.
  • The pitch is expected to be 'slow and testing for batters', as seen in the Australia vs Zimbabwe game where top-order batters struggled.
  • Hardik Pandya expressed a desire for 'flatter wickets' after India's struggles on non-batting-friendly pitches.
  • Pakistan might deploy a full spin attack, including Usman Tariq, to exploit the slow conditions against India.
  • India may consider including Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar to counter the spin threat and adapt to the pitch.
