Probable scenarios
If India bats first and manage to score anything less than 170, it is likley that India will lose the match because their bowling line-up is a bit inexperienced and Pakistan have a very deep batting line-up.
If India bats second then they can chase anything between 170-190, also because of their deep batting line-up.
In nutshell, team that bats first will win the match, in our opinion. Both the teams would want to chase and put the inexperienced bowling units of the opposition under pressure with their power-hitting and deep batting.
