Two-wicket burst vs IND; middle-overs control.

(Other notables: Sethmika Seneviratne (SL, 8 wkts) but finalists dominate the top.)
These stats reveal India’s edge in batting depth (four players over 149 runs) and bowling variety, while Pakistan relies on Minhas’ consistency and Subhan’s fire to disrupt.
Plausibility of an Upset: Can Pakistan Topple the Giants?
India enters as clear favorites—around 60-65% win probability—bolstered by their group-stage romp over Pakistan and superior net run rate (+4.5 vs +2.1). Mhatre’s side has lost just 12 wickets across five games, with openers Suryavanshi and Mhatre averaging 120+ partnerships. If they bat first and post 280+, Pakistan’s shaky middle order (combined avg 22) could crumble again.
