While admitting that facing the 'world's best', Jasprit Bumrah and the rest of the Indian bowling unit, remains a "challenge", Ayub hinted that Pakistan could counterattack the challenge by going with a spin-laden XI.
"We are not only looking forward to the India-Pakistan match, our main goal is to win the tournament," Ayub said on the eve of the high-voltage encounter.
