New Delhi. Team India, which started with a win in the T20 World Cup 2024, will take on Pakistan on Sunday. Both the teams have clashed seven times before in the T20 World Cup. The Indian team has the upper hand in this high-voltage match. The morale of the Pakistani team, which lost its first match to host America in the Super Over, is low. The team captained by Babar Azam is under pressure to win. If the Indian team wins this match, it will be difficult for Pakistan to reach the Super 8. This match, which will attract the biggest crowd in the tournament, will be played at the Nassau County International Stadium with a capacity of 34000 spectators.
The pitch of this ground has been a constant topic of discussion. So far, in the six innings of the three matches played in this stadium, teams have been able to cross the hundred run mark only twice. In April, four 'drop-in' pitches were laid here under the guidance of Adelaide Oval groundsman Damien House, which have not been set yet. The uneven bounce of the pitch is raising questions about the safety of the batsmen. Indian captain Rohit Sharma suffered a shoulder injury in the match against Ireland, due to which he had to leave the field.
This is the first time we have got such a victory, after the upset against New Zealand, the Afghan captain challenged and said- We are not going to defeat anyone…

'Every player will have to contribute in the match against Pakistan'
Rohit had said after the match, 'Honestly, I don't know what to expect from the pitch. We will prepare according to the situation. Every player will have to contribute in the match against Pakistan (IND vs PAK).' Pakistan team has not played any match at Nassau Stadium so far. The Pakistani team, which lost to America in the first match, reached here only on Thursday night. They have not got a chance to adapt to the situation, which may harm them.
Then it will be almost impossible for Pakistan to reach Super 8
If India loses, its path to the Super Eight will become almost impossible. Against Ireland, India did not play left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and included an additional specialist fast bowler. The same combination is expected against Pakistan as the match will be played on a new ground. South Africa and Netherlands are playing on a different ground on June 8. In batting, Rohit and Virat Kohli will open the innings while Rishabh Pant will come at number three.
Babar faces the challenge of forgetting the defeat in the first match
On the other hand, the biggest challenge for Pakistan is to forget the defeat in the first match. The defeat in the super over in the first match against America once again proved why the Pakistan team is considered so unpredictable. Babar blamed the bowlers for the defeat but it should not be forgotten that the batsmen also disappointed. Babar himself played 43 balls to score 44 runs. By the way, on a pitch helpful for fast bowlers, Pakistan's fast attack led by Shaheen Shah Afridi has the power to wreak havoc provided they do justice to their potential. India's group includes teams from Pakistan, Ireland, America and Canada.
