Adding to the buzz, Pakistan has stirred curiosity by canceling its pre-match press conference. The team had also skipped the press conference before its match against the UAE, where only pacer Haris Rauf addressed the media post-game. The latest move has left cricket fans and analysts speculating about Pakistan’s strategy and preparations ahead of this crucial tie.

Changes in India's playing XI

Meanwhile, India is set to make key changes to its playing XI in clash between India and Pakistan. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested in the game against Oman, will return to the side. Either Harshit Rana or Arshdeep Singh is expected to make way for him. There is also a strong possibility of spinner Varun Chakravarthy returning to bolster the bowling attack.

With stakes high and both sides making tactical adjustments, today’s India-Pakistan clash promises to be another gripping chapter in one of cricket’s most intense rivalries.
