By taking advantage of the occasion, India would be able to assess the situation and make the required corrections. However, Pakistan will benefit as well because they get to play India before the World Cup.
Robin Uthappa also stressed how difficult India’s matches with Pakistan will be. “Three difficult games are in store thanks to both teams’ great talent and expertise. Even though I always forecast India to win 3-0, it’s crucial to note that these won’t be easy games for the Indian team.

When India faces Pakistan, it’s a mutually beneficial process where both teams gain knowledge from one another. Our batters will be better able to prepare for Pakistan’s distinctive and varied fast bowlers. Our bowlers will be better able to plan their attacks on their batsmen. It is beneficial to play a team numerous times prior to a significant match, such as the World Cup in Ahmedabad. These three matches will provide information on what to anticipate from the World Cup. My score remains 3-0 in favor of India.
