India stuck with the no.4 conundrum once again With Shikhar Dhawan out of Pakistan clash, KL Rahul is expected to open the innings with Rohit Sharma.
This will leave a vacant spot in the middle order which will be taken by either Dinesh Karthik or Vijay Shankar. Other than this, Kuldeep Yadav could make way for Mohammad Shami. Virat Kohli might take a liking about the fact of adding another pacer to the line-up. Rest of the side is expected to be the same.

With 70% chances of rain, Ind-Pak match at this World Cup could face a washout. If the match happens, it's more likely that the number of overs played will be less. The pitch in Manchester is suited for batting, but the overcast conditions can benefit the pacers slightly.
