With the series still wide open, there seems little chance that Pakistan will rest Mohd. Rizwan who is due for a break since long. Therefore, the green shirts are once again expected to open with skipper Babar Azam and Mohd. Rizwan. Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali are also expected to retain their place in the side that Pakistan fields today however, there is a good chance of a change in batting order. Chances of Asif receiving a promotion in the batting line are bright particularly in case the top two or three bat out half the overs of the Pakistani innings.
