Venue:   Nassau County Int. Stadium – East Meadow, United States 

Info: 

• Virat Kohli has a great record against Pakistan and he is the team’s best bet to score runs on a tough pitch. Back him as India top batter. Jasprit Bumrah is a world class bowler and is likely to create a lot of problems for the Pakistan batters. Back him as top bowler.
• Babar Azam needs to stand up for Pakistan in the big challenge against India. He is the team’s captain and best batter and a lot rests on him. Back him as top batter. With the ball, Shaheen Afridi could create a lot of problems for the Indian batters and he is our top choice for the best bowler.
• The wicket will be helpful for bowlers and we feel that plenty of wickets will fall on the day. Back Pakistan to lose more than 6.5 wickets in their innings

Toss Prediction: 

Captain winning the toss should bowl first as there will be help on offer for the bowlers and there is a chance of team getting shot down for low score.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

There is a 50 percent chance of rain on the match day. It will be overcast and the temperature will range around the 20 degree mark.

Pitch Report:

This is not an easy wicket to bat. The conditions are expected to be better than what we have seen in previous games, however, it will still pose a challenge to the batters if the bowlers pitch the ball in right area.

Team NEWS: 

IND Team News: 

Rohit Sharma was retired hurt against Ireland after being hit on the elbow; however, the Indian captain should be available to play the important game against Pakistan. Don’t think India would be making any changes to their combination for the crucial clash. However, if  Rohit Sharma feels that spinners could be more useful on the pitch (if a different strip is used), he may pick Kuldeep Yadav over Mohammed Siraj.

PAK Team News: 

Pakistan are likely to make a few changes to the team after the defeat against USA. Saim Ayub could come in place of Azam Khan. Also, Imad Wasim will return to the team if he has recovered from his side strain. Imad could replace Mohammad Amir is the playing XI.

Winning Chances: 

India are clear favourites to win. The team is very strong on paper and the players are in decent form as well. India also are a temperamentally better team and perform well under pressure, however, the same cannot be said about Pakistan. Pakistan will have to be at their absolute best to beat India but we feel India have enough resources to hand Pakistan their second defeat of the tournament. Back India to win.

India to beat Pakistan

Key Players: 

India 

Virat Kohli 

Virat Kohli was dismissed for 1 run against Ireland but will hold the key against Pakistan. Kohli has been in great form and scored over 700 runs in IPL. Also, he has a great record against Pakistan and most of his best T20 World Cup knocks have come against the Babar Azam-led side.

Rishabh Pant 

Rishabh Pant has shown good consistent form in the T20 World Cup. He has looked solid and scored a fifty in the warm-up game against Bangladesh. Pant also scored a crisp 36 against Ireland as well. It seems that he is enjoying batting at No.3.

Ravindra Jadeja 

Pakistan have a history of struggling against the spinners and Ravindra Jadeja is likely to cause a lot of problems for Men in Green. Jadeja’s four overs will be crucial against Pakistan. Also, if there is a requirement, he can also contribute with the bat.

Jasprit Bumrah 

Bumrah is one of the best bowlers going around in world cricket. No matter what wickets he plays, he always finds a way to pick wickets. Once again, India rest a lot of expectations on the ace pacer.

Pakistan 

Babar Azam 

Babar Azam played a scratchy innings of 44 against USA. However, he would be the most important batter for Pakistan against India. He is well equipped to tackle the likes of Bumrah and needs to play a long innings to help the team post or chase a big score.

Fakhar Zaman 

Fakhar Zaman would also be key if the team has to do well. Zaman has shown decent form in the build-up to the tournament. Also, he has previously played a few match winnings against India as well. If Fakhar has a good day, the chances of Pakistan winning will get a massive boost.

Shaheen Afridi 

Shaheen Afridi did not have a great game against USA and would be eyeing a strong return against India. Shaheen with his left arm swing bowling has created problems for the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the past and would be looking to replicate his success against the Indian batters.

Imad Wasim 

Imad Wasim will add a lot of value to the team given his all-round skills. He is a very efficient cricketer who can turn the game on his head both with bat and ball.

Team Forms: 

IND Team Form: 

India picked a clinical win over Ireland in the previous game. A win over Pakistan would almost confirm a berth in Super 8s of T20 World Cup 2024.

PAK Team Form: 

Pakistan have not been in great form and have lost their last three games, including two against England and the last game against USA.
