IND vs PAK: It’s time for the mother of all battles in world cricket. Arch rivals India and Pakistan are set to lock horns in yet another high octane T20 World Cup encounter with both teams going all out for the win on the day.

Both teams are coming into the game with varying forms as Pakistan had to face the brunt of an underrated USA side which beat them in all categories of the game on June 5, registering their second consecutive win in the T20 World Cup. All things said, IND vs PAK can never disappoint the cricket fans or leave unentertained.

Team India Preview

India, under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, had an exceptional start to the T20 World Cup 2024, dominating Ireland in their opening match. Arshdeep’s lethal new ball spell and Rohit Sharma’s brilliant fifty were pivotal as everything aligned perfectly for India, leading to a comprehensive victory over Ireland as anticipated.

With standout performances from Bumrah, Pandya, Jadeja, and Axar with the ball, Virat Kohli, who struggled with the bat, will be eager to showcase his best against their arch-rivals. Attention will also be on the dynamic pair of Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant, known for their aggressive and entertaining batting style.

Pakistan Preview

Meanwhile, Pakistan is eager to rebound after a shocking defeat to the United States. Babar Azam’s slow innings, coupled with the lack of effectiveness from Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir with the new ball, contributed to Pakistan’s surprising loss.

Batters Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, and Fakhar Zaman, who underperformed against the USA, will need to step up and deliver strong performances. Given the must-win nature of the game for Pakistan, they might consider dropping Azam Khan, who has recently been a significant weakness in their T20I lineup.

IND vs PAK Pitch Report

The pitch at Nassau County International Stadium in New York will offer a dual bounce to the pacers. While the pace has been even, the track’s dual bounce and sandy outfield will pose serious challenge for the batters of both teams. Spinners can also expect some turn on the surface which indicates an average scoring affair in New York.

Team IND Probable Playing XI

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh

PAK Probable Playing XI

Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir
