India take on Pakistan without the spice leading up to the encounter. Pakistan though will like that. After losing to the USA, in an encounter that shakes the World Cup, Pakistan will be hoping to comeback in Pakistan style. They did in 2022, making the Finals after losing to India and Zimbabwe. Their squad though does not look as confident this time around. They potentially carry three players in the 15 who are unlikely to break into the eleven anymore, and even if they do will not have a huge impact. Imad Wasim returns though for this game with his injury seemingly on the mend.

IND vs PAK Pitch Report

New York’s drop in pitch has been under the scanner. The games so far have seen sides struggle to go at six an over. Uneven bounce, turn and swing dominate the conditions. Batting first could be better with conditions likely to get worse.

IND vs PAK Key Players

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav‘s numbers in T20 Cricket are really good. His performances against Pakistan though in the previous two World Cups leave a lot to wonder. He has the game to put them under pressure and India will need to him do so with the pitch unfavourable for the batters.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam came under the scanner again for his lack of intent against USA. He was 4 off 14 in the powerplay and struggled to generate momentum through his innings.
