GL Picks - Zaman, Wasim, Shadab, Rauf, Thakur/Bhuvi, Kishan/Surya, Pant

1. In case of a Top Order Collapse for India...
Shaheen and Hasan would be important, with Hardik/Surya/Kishan, Pant and Jadeja crucial with the bat.

2. In case of a Top Order Collapse for Pakistan...
Bumrah and Shami would be important, with Hafeez, Malik and Asif Ali crucial with the bat.

Predictions

1. Babar Azam and KL Rahul to be the highest scorers for their respective teams.
2. Rizwan and Kohli to get good starts but not do too well, can expect a score below 30.
3. Varun and Wasim could be good with the ball and get wickets since the wickets have been helping spin in recent matches.
4. Shami and Hasan to do better than Bumrah and Shaheen.
5. Rauf and Bhuvi could be important whosoever bowls first as they'd bowl in the death.
6. Rotate between Shadab and Wasim in various teams.
