Team Highlights and Star Players
Each side brings a mix of seasoned veterans and hungry youngsters. India’s batting line‑up is led by the ever‑reliable Rohit Sharma, while the fast bowlers have a new pace ace, Arshdeep Singh, ready to make an impact. Bangladesh relies on Shakib Al Hasan’s all‑round magic, and their opening duo, Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal, have been in fine form.
Pakistan’s home advantage is huge, especially with Shaheen Shah Afridi spearheading the attack. Sri Lanka’s revival story hinges on Kusal Mendis and a spin trio that can turn matches on a dime. Afghanistan continues to surprise with a strong middle order, featuring the explosive batsman Hazratullah Zazai.
Don’t overlook the underdogs either. Nepal’s young squad has been punching above its weight in recent qualifiers, and they could cause an upset if they stick to disciplined bowling.
Keep an eye on emerging talents like India's Shubman Gill, Pakistan’s Haider Ali, and Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan, as they could become the tournament’s breakout stars.
