Rohit Sharma's Team India is all set to compete against Babar Azam-led Pakistan in match 19 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, on June 9 (Sunday). This is the most-anticipated clash of this mega-tournament. The Men in Blue will be coming into this match with a big win over Ireland. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered an embarrassing loss against the United States.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have faced each other 7 times in the marquee event so far with Team India having a 6-1 lead over their arch-rivals.
Pitch Report
The pitch will have a lot of support for the bowlers, especially the pacers. It is unlikely to be a high-scoring contest. Batters will have to show patience before going all guns out.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to play a factor as there is rain prediction in the match. In case of a washout, both teams will have to share a point each.
