Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan Champions have a clear edge over the players who are still active in some form of cricket or not retired. That is where they have a better chance. But as we know, whenever these two sides play, the stakes get skyrocketed and the tension always increases.
That makes this contest much-awaited, and the pressure will be massive. Both teams still have a number of match-winners, which will make this contest a great one to watch. But with the overall form, we believe India Champions are better suited to win this match.
