NEW YORK: In a do-or-die encounter, Pakistan will face arch-rivals India in their second match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York today.
Pakistan will play to the fullest for a must-win against India fearing an early elimination from the marquee event after Men in Green faced a humiliating defeat against the United States in Dallas, Texas on Thursday.
At the cultural crossroads of the world, Long Island in New York will today witness a historic clash between Asian powerhouses for the first time in that part of the world. The match will go live at 7:30 pm PST as the cricketing world will set an eye on the mega clash of the tournament.
Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue started their tournament campaign on a positive note as they claimed a comprehensive 8-wicket win over Ireland. Winning against Green Shirts will make India’s way clear into the Super 8.
In Head-to-Head stats, India leads the number with five wins against Pakistan out of seven with Pakistan only winning one game at T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai. The remaining T20I resulted in a tie with India winning via bowl out.
The two sides do not meet outside of official competitions of the ICC and the last test match between them was in 2007.
