India’s victory over Ireland in their tournament opener would give them confidence going into the big game. Ireland was dismissed for just 96 runs thanks to an outstanding performance by Indian spinners. The team later won easily with a 52-run effort from Rohit Sharma and some powerful strikes from Rishabh Pant.
Pakistan, on the other hand, lost the most recent match to the USA in a bizarre fashion. Pakistan did not play their best cricket, even though they entered the match as strong favorites.
Shadab Khan’s forty-six runs helped Pakistan get 159 in 20 overs, but the bowlers were unable to hold the goal as their batting collapsed against the USA.
Pakistan gave up a loss in the Super Over as the USA pushed the contest. Pakistan now needs to win the match against India to qualify for the Super 8. To have a genuine chance of moving on to the next round, the Men in Green will need to defeat India in some way.
India vs Pakistan head-to-head record:
India has won nine of the 12 Twenty20 international matches between them and Pakistan; Pakistan has only won three of these encounters. India’s lead is evident.
When we consider their track record in T20 World Cups, it becomes even more lopsided. India has proven to be a dominant force in these competitions, winning 6-1 over its neighbor.

Who will win the match?
India will be the overwhelming favorite going into the IND vs. PAK game because they have a well-oiled machine and have played well recently. India will greatly benefit from Rishabh Pant’s outstanding performance against Ireland in his first game back for the national team.
Pakistan will be optimistic against India despite their recent defeat, though, given the game will take place at Nassau County Stadium in New York, a field that has benefited bowlers more than hitters. During the India vs. Ireland game, the pitch acted strangely, with an uneven bounce. Pakistan has a great chance to change the course of this competition if they can capitalize on that.
