Abhishek Sharma
Shubman Gill
Suryakumar Yadav (c)
Tilak Varma
Sanju Samson (wk)
Rinku Singh
Shivam Dube
Axar Patel
Kuldeep Yadav

Jasprit Bumrah
India has made three changes to their team for the big game. Hardik Pandya, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh are not playing, while Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, and star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah have been included. The return of Bumrah is a big boost for India’s bowling attack, while Rinku and Dube will add strength to the batting lineup.
Pakistan has decided not to make any changes and will play with the same team that performed in their recent matches. Captain Salman Agha will lead the side, with openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman at the top. The batting also includes Saim Ayub and Hussain Talat, while the bowling attack features Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf, and spinner Abrar Ahmed.
The atmosphere in Dubai is full of excitement, with fans from both countries filling the stadium. With India choosing to chase and Pakistan looking to put runs on the board, cricket lovers are expecting a tough and thrilling contest between the two rivals.
