India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the 19th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Sunday.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

India have been at their best as they have been coming up with a collective effort. The Rohit Sharma-led team must have added confidence to their bag after adjusting to the difficult conditions of the New York pitch. Indian bowlers were brilliant against Ireland and they will want to carry the good show.
