India’s :
Indian would definitely try to bury the ghosts of the Karachi test match,by winning the first oneday international to be played at Peshwar.India would definitely seek revenge for it’s huge loss at Karachi.


India would be once again looking for flexibility in their batting order as they hope to take advantage of fielding restrictions inside the 3 power plays and one may see even Sachin,Sehwag,Dhoni,Pathan and Agarkar going up or lower down the order.

With return of Suresh Raina and Mohammed Kaif who are in good form ,Indians would be looking to win this first oneday to dent a huge blow to Pakistan in the beginning of series itself.

Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh once again provide solidity to middle order and you may see even Rahul Dravid going down further in the batting lineup.

And this flexibility may once again be crucial advantage in favour of India as this makes India as favorites in this oneday series when compared to Pakistan’s batting lineup which is not as flexible as |Indian batting lineup.

To their added advantage Indians also have palyers like Dravid.Kaif,Tendulkar and Raina who could very well adapt to the match situations and play accordingly.Indians would be also bolstered by the return of Kaif and Raina who are excellent fielders in addition to Yuraj Singh who is always brilliant at point.
