Preview

India will play against their arch-rivals Pakistan in the Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. After winning their tournament opener in a convincing manner against Ireland, India will be confident to keep up their winning momentum. On the other side, Pakistan suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the USA in their T20 World Cup 2024, putting themselves under all sorts of pressure in regard to securing a spot in the Super 8 stage.

Pitch Report

The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York has produced quite a few low-scoring matches in the early stages of the T20 World Cup 2024, providing help to the fast bowlers and spinners alike. Still, the average first innings of 103 at this venue in its short T20I history, could prove to be far from enough for India or Pakistan to defend in their upcoming match.

Team Analysis

India

India captain Rohit Sharma batted extraordinarily well in tough batting conditions against the Ireland fast bowlers in their T20 World Cup opener, helping the team chase down a 97-run target quite easily after stitching together an impressive second wicket stand with Rishabh Pant. In the bowling side of things, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya were the pick of the bowlers for India against the Irish, utilising the help in the pitch to their advantage.

Pakistan

Pakistan batting lineup struggled massively against the USA bowling attack in their opening match of the T20 World Cup 2024, with only Shadab Khan managing to score an innings of substance at a decent strike-rate. The bowlers for Pakistan were all over the place while defending 159-run total against the Americans, which ultimately led to their defeat in the Super Over.
