From fans to cricket legends, everyone is eager to watch the match between these two arch rivals in international cricket. Team India has always been on top in the India-Pakistan match.
Therefore, the Indian team will try to take another step towards the Super 8 by defeating Pakistan in this match to be held today i.e. on 9 June. If Pakistan loses this match, then it may have to return home from this year’s World Cup.
Pakistan does not have a good record against India
India and Pakistan have faced each other seven times in the T20 World Cup so far. In which India has won 6 times while Pakistan has won only once. So this battle will not be an ordinary battle for Pakistan. Considering Pakistan’s form in the T20 series against England and the match against America before the World Cup, Pakistan will have to work hard while playing against India.
As per the structure of T20 World Cup 2024, the top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super8. India, Pakistan’s group includes USA, Canada and Ireland. The Indian team started strongly by defeating Ireland. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a shocking defeat against USA. If they lose to USA and India, it will be difficult for Pakistan to reach the next round. After the match against India, Pakistan faces the challenge of Ireland and Canada. Guaranteeing victory in this is not at all easy.
USA won the opening match against Canada. Therefore, USA is currently at the top of the group. Defeat against India can close the way to Super 8 for Pakistan. Because even if Pakistan wins the remaining two matches, it will get only four points. USA and India have a chance to get 8 points. At least now, USA has a better chance than Pakistan to reach the Super 8 round. Even if USA loses the next match, USA has a good net run rate after winning the first two matches.
Therefore, winning against India is a do or die situation for Pakistan. In the history of T20 World Cup, Pakistan’s team has always reached the knockout stage. But this year, a sword is hanging over their head. Pakistan has reached the final of the tournament three times and won the title once.
