A loss would dash Afghanistan’s hopes of advancing, while Pakistan would have to win every remaining match to be in contention in the points table.
Pakistan have had little to cheer about in their recent matches, but Shaheen Afridi’s performance against Australia was a beacon of light. On a pitch where Australia scored 367 runs, Afridi took 5 wickets for 54 runs, including the only maiden over of the innings.
Pakistan will have to decide whether to give Usama Mir another chance after his disappointing performance in the previous match, given that the pitch for the upcoming game against Sri Lanka is expected to favor spinners. One of Mir, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz will miss out, with Nawaz the most likely to be dropped.
Toss and highlights videos
Pakistan has to win this match with a big margin to improve their net run rate and get into the top four in the points table. They are currently at the number 5 position. India is leading the points table with 10 points, followed by New Zealand (8 points), South Africa (6 points) and Australia (4 points.)
Pitch and weather report
The pitch will be the same one that was used for the Australia-India match two weeks ago, which means that both teams can expect plenty of turn.
There is an excessive heat warning in Chennai for tomorrow, with conditions expected to be particularly overbearing in the afternoon. Under the circumstances, the team winning the toss will choose to bat first.
Who said what:
Imam-ul-Haq of Pakistan knows they must perform better; he said, “We have played four matches, and we are 2-2. We are confident. We accept that we did not play well in the last two matches. We will have to perform up to the mark.”
