India will square off against 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. India made a winning start to their campaign, beating Ireland convincingly by eight wickets whereas Pakistan was flabbergasted by the USA in the Super Over contest.
Pakistan was timid in their approach and the hosts made them pay for their conservative approach. On the other hand, Indian bowlers were right on the money against the Irish team as they made the most of the favorable conditions on offer.
