You know that India and Pakistan cricket teams are going to face each other on July 3. Pakistan cricket board (PCB) is now very busy with recruiting the new coach for the team. However, at the same time, Pakistan team is taking preparations before facing their ever rivals in Glasgow, Scotland.

Ahead of the important match, Pakistan ace Shoaib Akhtar and Younis Khan were recalled and now it seems that Pakistan will take on Indian team with their full strength. With Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Mohammad Sami and Shoaib Akhtar, the bowling side of the Pakistan team seems very strong compared to the inexperience bowling side of India. You may think that Pakistan team lacks of a spinner. Danish Kaneria is now out of the team but Captain Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi can serve as spinners. In English condition, the pace bowlers will have some advantages. So, I think, bowling is the strong side for Pakistan.

However, it does not mean that their batting line up is bad Specially, the middle order batting line up of Pakistan team is one of the best in the world. Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Shoaib Malik can compete with any team. The most important thing is that they have some effective all-rounders including Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi. So, to tell the truth, comparing teh batting and bowling of both India and Pakistan teams, I have to say that Pakistan team is now ahead of Indian cricket team.
