India vs Pakistan will clash in the highly anticipated 15th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Sunday, June 9.
India (Team News)
India are coming on the back of a win against Ireland which spinners were not required. It will be a tester for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma against a swinging new ball. The Indian bowling attack might see some shuffling with Kuldeep Yadav potentially making a comeback.
Given Kuldeep’s recent form and his favourable match-ups against Pakistani batters, especially Babar Azam, the team management might consider including him. If so, one out of Axar Patel or Ravindra Jadeja may have to sit out. The batting is more or less settled with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli expected to continue as openers and Rishabh Pant taking the No.3 slot.
The fast-bowling unit, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, will likely remain the same, providing India with the much-needed firepower to challenge the Pakistani batters. The Indian bowlers will aim to leverage the conditions and restrict the opposition.
Pakistan (Team News)
Pakistan would be hoping to get their act together after the opening shock against the USA, who pipped them in the Super Over for a memorable win. Captain Babar Azam blamed the loss primarily on bowlers, but he cannot afford to overlook the underwhelming performance of the team’s batters, including himself.
Babar consumed 43 deliveries for his 44, which is nowhere close to being a decent strike rate in the shortest format. He would be hoping to do better and lead by example.
With conditions helpful for seamers it won’t be a surprise if the lethal version of Pakistan’s bowling attack led by Shaheen Afridi decides to show up on Sunday and put the team’s campaign back on track. The bowlers will be crucial in providing early breakthroughs and maintaining pressure on the Indian batters.

Pitch Report: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
It will be a good toss to lose because the pitches here are unpredictable. The pitches will provide a lot of help for the bowlers and run-making will be difficult as the tournament has suggested so far. Recent weather conditions have been wet, potentially affecting pitch conditions on match day. The captain who wins the toss will look to bat second.
