For India, Jasprit Bumrah and the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to be in the thick of things. Meanwhile, Pakistan will be bolstered by the return of the veteran pacer Mohammad Amir, along with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf. 

Australia are likely to turn to Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins to spearhead their bowling attack. The duo are on the back of an impressive IPL 2024, and would be raring to go for their country.
