ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Everytime India and Pakistan play each other, the emotion gets lesser and lesser in impact. It's probably the generation which has moved on from the old thinking style and all. I used to be all wired up before an India-Pakistan game. This time, I am not even planning on watching it live.
 
Just saw India vs Pakistan 2015 WC match. Wow how good Misbah was the lone warrior. He has played so many of these awesome innings against India. Pakistan need not worry though, they have Hafeez. He will destroy Indian bowling tomorrow along with Shoaib Malik.

India is in such bother, if they bat first and if it rains then Pakistan wins, if they bowl first then Pakistan destroys Indian bowling.
 
He will play, unfortunately.
Why is even in the team? He barely shines. He is very overrated and inconsistent. He hasn't bowled magnificently since the 2015 world cup QF.
 
Gut feeling says it will be Pakistan's day today. I also feel it will fairly be a one-sided affair.

Shoaib Malik and Hafeez might shine.
 
Jeez, reverse jinxing is really popular here
 
My gut feeling is that we are going to get a washout.
 
Lots of reverse jinxing, lol. Let's be honest, India have a strong batting lineup while Pakistan has a world class bowling unit. A good contest between bat and ball is what we get to see today. I would say, India's Batting vs Pakistan's bowling.

Few players in Pakistan squad are unpredictable. They can do wonders on their day. Hoping to see a good and entertaining day of cricket. Good luck to both the teams! May the best performing team win! :)
 
My gut feeling is that we are going to get a washout.
Seeing the weather forecast, I too feel its going to be washout :( or a DL result. Why the heck would tournament organizers organize matches at these venue when we obviously rain gets predicted weeks and months before. The could have easily moved this match somewhere else.

AccuWeather are forecasting a shower at 3 pm at Edgbaston. Rest is clear.
 
I see 11 am to 2 pm showers on weather.com rest it shows clear. That is 3 hours lost if that happens
 
I feel this should be Pakistan's playing XI from XII.

Ahmed Shehzad
Azhar Ali
Babar Azam
Sarfraz Ahmed
Shoaib Malik
Mohammad Hafeez
Fahim Ashraf
Shadab Khan
Hasan Ali
Wahab Riaz
Mohammad Amir

Imaad Wasim misses out. No doubt he is good player. But seeing the CT17 matches, leg spinner can be handy. So that's why I will go with Shadab, just to give a chance. And the thing about his batting is that he can't hit boundaries freely. That's why you have Fahim Ashraf at no. 7.

Let's hope for the best. May the best team win :)
