The biggest ever clash of 2017 will be available to see for the world of cricket fans at edgbaston on 4^th of June in England in the first big clash of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 which will staged from 1^st June.

Both teams played warm up match against Bangal Tigers and won the games but interestingly their batting pattern was different. Pakistan chased on the loss of eight wickets the big target of 342 with 3 balls remaining.

It was test case for both Sarfaraz Ahmad and head coach Mickey Arthur because the green team as per his past records were never easy in chase. The thriller was made by young bot Faheem Ashraf with strike rate of 213 and made 64 quick runs on just 30 balls with the help of four boundaries and four sixes.

On the other hand India who is famous in his batting has batted first and set the huge target of 324 and won the match by 240 runs.

The moves from the captains of the arch rivals in warm up games to test their week parts like defending bowling of India and chasing batting of Pakistan and the managed themselves in better halves.

Pakistan and India in head to head stats clearly showing edge of Green team over India as well as in ICC Champions Trophy. Both the team faced each other in 127 ODI’s and 72 times Pakistan won while India made only 51 matches rest four matches was undecided, similarly in ICC champions Trophy Pakistan won two matches and lost only one against India.

Sarfaraz Ahmad’s team and for himself! ICC champions Trophy is a big challenge and to meet his future qualities he need a big success in ICC champions Trophy which will in shape against India can strength his captaincy.

When we go to compare both the captains and their strength in the team than it’s the clear reflector that Kohli has good and brilliant minds in his team as compared to Sarfaraz.

Sarfaraz Ahmad who is very optimistic and said in pre-tournament interview that “We will play India’s match as normal opponent” but it’s not look easy for him in the presence of MS Dhoni which will be the trump card for Virat, while Youvraj Singh most fantastic hitter in late order he has with MS.

On the other hand Sarfraz have Muhammad Hafeez and Shoeb Malik as calculating machines for him to work if they done so in the ground with their tricks.

The brain of Hafeez and his only two overs can help Pakistan Captain for getting two quick wickets and to put pressure on rival India, and Shoeb Malik’s slogging from mid-on and mid-off will help green team to itemize the score board in five overs time.

Now this game would be the best game for the cricket lovers as well because india has time to level their match ratio (2-2) with Pakistan while Pakistan has time to increase his margin in ICC CT’s from 2 to 3.
