Naseem Shah for Hasan Ali
Pakan’s strength is their bowling attack with Naseem Shah, showing improvement with each passing day, along with Harris Rauf and Mohammed Hasnain. The youngster was rested in their last match will replace veteran Hasan Ali in the playing XI. Naseem, 19, has been Pakan’s most valuable player (MVP). He has bagged six wickets in four games, with an impressive strike rate, and who can forget his match-winning sixes against Afghanan.

Shadab Khan for Usman Qadir
Shadab Khan is one of the top all-rounders in international cricket and is the engine on which the Pakan team functions. The vice-captain of the Pakan team has been impressive with his leg-breaks (ER 5.79 and 7 wickets) in the Asia Cup, and scored a valuable 36 against Afghanan while batting up the order. He is certain to replace Usman Qadir in the palying XI, who had a decent outing against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka likely to remain unchanged
On the other side, Sri Lanka too, made a couple of changes in their last match. Left-arm seamer Dilshan Madhushanka replaced Asitha Fernando, while Dhananjaya de Silva came in for Charitha Aslanka. Madhushanka was impressive in his outing after taking the wicket of in-form Mohammed Rizwan with the new ball. While De Silva proved to be a valuable addition with his more than valuable off-spin. It would be interesting to see whether Sri Lanka will change their winning combination in the final.
