After succumbing to a defeat in their ICC Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand, the Pakistan cricket team have left for Dubai. While the Mohammad Rizwan-led side played their first match at the National Stadium in Karachi, they are slated to take on India in their next match at the Dubai International Stadium on February 23 (Sunday). The Pakistan contingent departed from Karachi for the United Arab Emirates on Thursday (February 20). However, Fakhar Zaman, the Pakistan opener who is sustained a knee injury did not travel with the squad after being ruled out of the tournament. It is Imam-ul-Haq who has been roped in as his replacement. Pakistan in danger of early elimination from Champions Trophy A defeat by 60 runs in their Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand have left them at the verge of early elimination. Pakistan now would want to win at all costs against India to keep their destiny entirely at their own hands. If they lose to an Indian team, it might all come down to the net run rate (NRR). However, a heavy defeat to the Kiwis in their campaign opener has meant their NRR has already taken a big hit and it would need an out of the skin performance from them to proceed while also hoping for other results to go their way. Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan (captain), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman (replaced by Imam ul Haq), Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi.Original Article
