India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024: Timeless Rivalry Reignites in New York
The Indian men’s cricket team will face arch-rivals Pakistan in their second Group A match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The much-anticipated match will take place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday, June 9, starting at 8:00 PM IST. Live streaming and telecast will be available in India.
Match Overview and Historical Context
Both India and Pakistan are former T20 World Cup champions. India won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, defeating Pakistan in the final, while Pakistan claimed the title in 2009. Despite their early successes, neither team has won the trophy since. Pakistan reached the final in the 2022 edition but lost.
India and Pakistan enter this match with contrasting starts to their campaigns. India, led by Rohit Sharma, defeated Ireland by eight wickets in their opening match. Pakistan, captained by Babar Azam, suffered a surprise defeat to the USA in a Super Over in Dallas. This result puts pressure on Pakistan to secure a win against India to keep their Super 8 hopes alive.
Pitch Conditions and Key Players
The Nassau County pitch has shown plenty of lateral movement and uneven bounce, potentially favoring Pakistani seamers. This could lead to a low-scoring match.
Three of the top run-scorers in T20I history will be on display: Babar Azam, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. Babar Azam leads with 4067 runs, followed by Virat Kohli with 4038 runs, and Rohit Sharma with 4026 runs.
Virat Kohli is particularly notable in India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup matches, having scored 308 runs in five innings. For Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan has been the most successful against India in T20Is, scoring 197 runs in four matches.
Head-to-Head Record
India and Pakistan have faced each other 12 times in T20Is, with India winning eight matches, Pakistan three, and one match ending in a tie. In T20 World Cups, they have met seven times. India has won five, Pakistan one, and one match ended in a tie, which India won in a bowl-out.
