T20 World Cup 2024: Match 19, IND vs PAK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s T20 WC match between IND vs PAK?

Preview:

India (IND) will take on Pakistan (PAK) in the 19th game of the T20 World Cup 2024. The game will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, and will start at 8:00 PM IST on June 9.

India will be confident heading into the blockbuster match after a comprehensive win over Ireland in their tournament opener. Indian bowlers had a brilliant outing against Ireland and bowled them out for a mere 96. Later, a 52 by Rohit Sharma and some lusty blows from Rishabh Pant ensured an easy win for the team. 

Pakistan on the other hand suffered a shambolic defeat to the USA in the last game. Despite going into the game as heavy favourites, Pakistan failed to play their best cricket. Pakistan's batting crumbled against the USA and the team could only score 159 in 20 overs, courtesy of Shadab Khan’s 40, however, the bowlers failed to defend the target.

USA pushed the match in the Super Over where Pakistan conceded a defeat. The game against India now becomes a must-win for Pakistan in terms of Super 8 qualification. The Men in Green will somehow have to beat India to keep realistic hopes of reaching the next round.

IND vs PAK Probable Best Players of the Match

Probable Best Batter of the Match:

Rohit Sharma has approached the World Cup 2024 with an aggressive mindset, as demonstrated in the opening game against Ireland where he scored a brilliant half-century. As the Indian captain, he has the ability to bat deep into the innings once he is settled. Given that Nassau's pitch favours slow bowlers and spinners, he is likely to begin cautiously before showcasing his full range of skills.
