One more win would boost India’s Super 8s qualification chances, while a loss in the upcoming encounter would almost shut the door on the Men in Green.
One of the high-profile matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup between India (IND) and Pakistan (PAK) is set to take place on Sunday, June 9, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. India kicked off their campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Ireland. Meanwhile, Pakistan got off to a horrendous start as they lost to the hosts USA in the Super Over.
This certainly dampened Pakistan’s confidence and the hype of the IND-PAK contest. The Men in Blue are the favourites now, but the pressure and intensity when these teams face each other will hopefully make the battle more interesting. One more win would boost India’s Super 8s qualification chances, while a loss in the upcoming encounter would almost shut the door on the Men in Green.
India will be playing at the same venue, giving them another advantage. The pitch here is slower and supports the bowlers more.
Pakistan have a quality pace unit and they will rely heavily on them to taste victory.
