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. While India kicked off their campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket win against Ireland, Pakistan was stunned in the Super Over contest by the USA.
We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form of India: W W W W W
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.
Current form of Pakistan: L L L W W (excluding NR against England)
Pakistan was stunned by the USA in their opening match of the tournament at Dallas. The Men in Green could not tick the right boxes in any of the three aspects of the game and they will need to pull up their socks against the potent Indian team.
