India
Strength: India’s batting line-up is full of lineage and power, which features stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer add depth in batting order. The presence of several all -rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel balances the side. Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakraborty attack a powerful spin.
Weaks: The absence of Jasprit Bumrah due to injury is a shock. Without Bumrah, India’s speed attack is inexperienced. Mohammed Shami must have done a lot of heavy raise. There are concerns about Rohit and Virat’s continuity, although Rohit is expected to have England against the century and Virat’s fifty.
opportunity: Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer have a platform to establish themselves primarily. Playing all their matches in Dubai will be like “Home Advantage” for the Indian team.
Threat: Prominent players like Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav are returning from injuries and can face fitness challenges. India also has history in the knockout stages of the ICC tournament.
Pakistan
Strength: As hosts, Pakistan will benefit from familiar situations and emotional local support. Under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s fast bowling unit is malicious. Captain Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha have both talent and experience in the middle-order of Pakistan, recently striking in a rich form.
Weaks: Babur Azam has not been the best in recent years. Other opener Fakhar Zaman is looking for his way back in international cricket. Pakistan’s top-order batting has shown vulnerability under pressure. Their fielding is not great.
opportunity: The choice of Salman Aga, Abrar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam is a chance to make significant impact on the international stage.
Threat: Playing at home leads to a lot of pressure to perform, resulting in the platform-philosophy. Abrar Ahmed is just a risky move to be a specialist spinner. Salman Aga and Khushdil Shah can also bowl, but they are the best part.
New Zealand
Strength: Known for their credibility, Kane Williamson, Derryl Michel and Tom Latham provide stability to artists. A mixture of experienced spin departments such as a competent spin department along with the london Ferguson and Matte Henry makes their bowling versatile. New Zealand’s fielding tops.
Weaks: Constant, the team sometimes lacks gamechanging ex-factor players who can turn a single-hand match. Running runs in the death overs have been an area of concern.
opportunity: Young talents like Rachin Ravindra, Will O’Rurke and Glenn Philips have a chance to shine on a large stage. Pitch in Pakistan and UAE can suit their bowlers, especially spinners.
Threat: Historically, NZ has faced challenges in high -pressure knockout matches, and it can re -test them. If senior players do not bring their A-Game to the tournament, then the depth of the team can be tested.
Bangladesh
Strength: Legendary like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah offer a solid spine. Bangladesh spinners are his primary power. He specializes in exploiting the status of the subcontinent and familiar with conditions like home in both Pakistan and Dubai.
Weaks: Uncomfortable has been an important issue for Bangladesh for a long time. The batting line-up is at risk of collapse, which affects their ability to pursue or capitalize on a good start. The motion attack has historically fought to include rivals on flat tracks. They have a lack of power hitter in the lower middle order.
opportunity: Young talents like Tanjid Hasan, Tohid Hirdoy and fast bowler Nahid Rana can create a mark in a Marki tournament. Lack of spotlight on them can make them a stunning package.
Threat: The absence of Shakib Al Hasan increases the strength of the spin department as well as concerns about the middle-order. Bangladesh recently lost the ODI against Afghanistan and the West Indies, where major players struggled with form and continuity.
