Ind vs Pak T20 World Cup 2024, Match Preview: There is a match between India and Pakistan today (9 June) in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. In this match to be held in New York, the Indian team will try to maintain its winning streak. On the other hand, the Pakistan team is completely on the backfoot after losing to America. Rohit Sharma will captain the Indian team in this match. Babar Azam will captain the Pakistan team. The match will start at 8 pm Indian time.
Questions raised over Nassau's drop-in pitch
This India-Pakistan match is to be held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium with a capacity of 34000 spectators. The pitch of this ground is a matter of constant discussion. Four drop-in pitches were laid here in April under the guidance of Adelaide Oval chief curator Damien Hogg, which have not been set yet. Due to the high bounce on the pitch, questions are being raised on the safety of the batsmen. Indian captain Rohit Sharma suffered a shoulder injury in the match against Ireland, due to which he had to leave the field.
The Pakistan team has not played any match at Nassau Stadium yet. The Pakistani team, which lost to America in the first match, reached here on Thursday night itself. They do not get a chance to adapt to the situation, which can harm them. If they lose to India, their path to the Super Eight stage will become almost impossible.
Will Kuldeep get a chance?
Against Ireland, India did not field left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav and included a fast bowler. The same combination is expected to remain against Pakistan as the match will be played on a new turf. In batting, Rohit and Virat Kohli will open the innings, while Rishabh Pant will bat at number three. The biggest challenge against Pakistan is to convert the defeat in the first match into a win.
The defeat in the super over in the first match against America once again proved why the Pakistan team is considered so unpredictable. Babar Azam blamed the bowlers for the defeat. But Pakistan's batsmen also disappointed. Babar himself played 43 balls to score 44 runs
Tight security measures have been put in place for the match after the terrorist threat from ISIS at the start of the tournament. Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder recently gave an update on the security measures. He said, 'The security arrangements for the India-Pakistan match are similar to those made to welcome the then US President Barack Obama a few years ago.'
Team India has always dominated against Pakistan in T20 cricket. A total of 12 T20 International matches have been played between the two teams so far, in which the dominance of the Indian team has been seen.
