India vs Pakistan - The Preview

The stage is set for the two arch-rivals for this mammoth tie in the World Cup. India and Pakistan clash is always the flagship encounter in any ICC tournament. And this year, that will be the same as well. But if you take a look at this clash closely, India do have a distinct advantage over Pakistan.

The star-studded squad of the Indian team had the perfect start after beating Ireland with ease. On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led Pakistan has started in the worst possible way as they suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the co-hosts USA in the first match.

If we take a look at the World Cup history between these two teams, Pakistan have only managed a solitary victory over India in 7 attempts in T20 World Cups. And their recent record is not that encouraging at all. They came into the World Cup with defeats in England, Ireland, and managed only a series draw against a second-string New Zealand side, which has indicated problems in the Pakistan set-up.

As the Pakistanis now take on the Indian team in this mammoth encounter, there will be jitters in the Pakistan camp, as they know a victory is a must to keep their hopes of advancing to the super eights alive. India, on the other hand, will be hoping to replicate their performance against Ireland and topple Pakistan yet again, which they have been doing quite regularly in the past few years, especially in the ICC tournaments.

In terms of the current players, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will play a massive part for India. The New York pitch hasn't been the smoothest for batters and the likes of Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Rishabh Pant will have to step up to tackle the Pakistan pace attack. For Pakistan, the aim will be to win the Toss and bowl first to test the Indian batters against their pace quartet. All in all, be prepared to expect the unexpected.
