Cricket fans impatiently await the much-anticipated match of the tournament. In an interview with a local sports channel, former India Off Spinner Harbhajan Singh said, given the limited bilateral matches between the two sides, it will be a tricky encounter.

Although, India has a better track record in T20 World Cups. Out of 7 matches, India won 5 while Pakistan managed to win only 1 game. One game ended in a tie.

Harbhajan said it is not easy to predict a winner as the two teams don’t play much against each other due to political reasons but team India has their work cut out against Pakistan.

Analyzing the bowling attack of Pakistan he said that Pakistan has bowlers that are strong physically and mentally. India must have analyzed all the bowlers.

Shahid Afridi Weigh In On Pakistan Playing Against India in T20 WC 2024

Former Pakistan Cricketer is an ambassador for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. He is excited to see the India-Pakistan clash in New York on Sunday.

Afridi compares the match to the famous Super Bowl in the National Football League USA. He said that America’s cricket-loving crowd will enjoy the biggest sports rivalry.

The former Skipper said that he loved playing against India as the atmosphere was electric. All-rounder cricketers revealed a secret to winning the high-voltage game- the team that holds their nerves calm under pressure is surely going to win.

Pakistan’s recent form in the shorter format has been up and down. It is primarily due to the experiments they were doing, rotating their bowling and batting combinations.

However, Pakistan’s performance in the last two T20 World Cups is praiseworthy, as they played one final and one semi-final.

Irfan Pathan’s Reading Of The Game

The former Indian all-rounder and winner of the 2007 T20 World Cup believes it’s going to be a cracker of a game on Sunday.

He praised Pakistan’s power hitters Iftikhar, Azam khan, and Fakhar Zaman. Pathan believes Pakistan has a solid team as the batting is complemented by Pakistan’s pace battery led by Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Pathan said that Team India is a power to reckon with in all forms of the game. India has a formidable batting lineup which bats deep. At the same time, they have a genius pacer Jasprit Bumrah and an accurate spinner Ravindra Jadeja.

It will not be easy for either team to win easily. The teams must have to come up with a serious plan against each other and execute the plan to perfection.

Team Pakistan has requested to change its team hotel in New York which is at a longer distance from the ground.

The criticism turned loud when Ireland was bowled out for 96 against India. Three players suffered (body blows )injuries in the chase, due to uneven bounce of the pitch, including Rohit Sharma, Harry Tractor, and Rishabh Pant. Rohit Sharma retired hurt after the blow.

The pitch was offering excessive seam movement which didn’t die down but enhanced as the match progressed.

Irish Coach Heinrich Malan said in T20 you expect boundaries around the ground. But we witnessed uneven bounce and excessive swing which led to a low-scoring match.

Former Indian all-rounder, in a post-match analysis, said that we want to promote cricket in America but this pitch is not safe for the players.

The drop-in pitches brought from Australia are undercooked and are giving a lot of trouble to the batters. These pitches were supposed to favor batters but are otherwise.

Former players expect that sanity will prevail and the curator will set a pitch for the India-Pakistan game that has an even bounce and offers less swing compared to the previous matches. So that there could be a more balanced match and provide entertainment to the crowd.

Rohit Sharma Fit For The Game Against Pakistan

Rohit Sharma received a blow on the right Bicep, from Irish fast bowler Josh Little, while batting against Ireland.

He scored a dominating 37 balls fifty before retiring hurt. However, the BCCI has confirmed that the injury is not of serious kind and the skipper will be fit to play against Pakistan on Sunday.

The high-voltage game between India and Pakistan will be a thriller to watch. The cricket Gurus rate the upcoming encounter bigger than Ashes. The team winning the game will uptick its confidence for the rest of the tournament. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
