Faheem in, Nawaz out

Meanwhile, the green shirts have announced their playing XI for today’s encounter, including fast-bowling all-rounder Fahim Ashraf in place of Mohammad Nawaz.
Nawaz had an unproductive outing in Pakistan's match against India, which ended without a result due to rain. He remained wicketless, conceding 55 runs in his eight overs against India. In the game against Nepal, Nawaz managed to claim one wicket for 13 runs in his two overs.

Faheem, who last appeared in an ODI last month against Afghanistan, brings his all-round capabilities to the team. He took two wickets in his eight overs in that match. The remainder of the playing XI remains unchanged from the previous match.

It will be the first ODI meeting between the two sides since the 2019 World Cup.
