Pakistan will play their first match in the World Cup tomorrow with the USA match. Babar Azmara did not play a warm-up match on US soil. In that case, the team management may have to get some speed to arrange the combination. Pakistani cricketers have no experience of playing any match in Dallas before. Let's keep an eye on Pakistan's possible XI for tomorrow's match.

Babar Azam to meet Mohammad Rizwan in the opening. Pakistan scored 59 runs in this pair in the fourth match of the series against England. Usman Khan can play in three. In the last match of the England series, Usman played a 38-run innings off 21 balls. Fakhr Zaman will be there as usual.

Azam Khan is washing both sides with gloves and bat. Sayem Ayyub can be his alternative. If Babar plays at three, Sayem can open. If this happens, Usman and Fakhar will play at four and five respectively.

Pakistan can rely on spin all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed in the lower middle order. Then another all-rounder Shadab Khan will bat. Shadab is not in the mood recently. However, he will be ahead considering the experience.

Pakistan can form the XI with four pacers in the pace-friendly conditions of Dallas. In that case Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf can pair with Shaheen Shah Afridi. Nasim was very poor in the England series. So the competition for the fourth pacer could be between Nasim Shah and Abbas Afridi. And if Pakistan comes down with three pacers, leg spinner Abrar Ahmed can get a place in the eleven.

Possible XI of Pakistan

Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam (captain), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan (wicketkeeper), Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah/Abbas Afridi/Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf.
