In their second encounter of the T20 World Cup 2024, India and Pakistan will square off at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, marking the beginning of one of the greatest rivalries in sports. When this Group A match unfolds on Sunday, June 9, supporters from both countries will make sure to give their teams their full support.
Team IND entered this match fresh off an incredible victory on June 5th in New York over Ireland. To get their team going in the event and to set up the game, the bowlers performed their duties to perfection. In impressive style, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant completed the short run-chase.
Pakistan’s first Group A match ended in defeat by the United States of America, making it a less than ideal start for them. Even though they scored a below-average 159, they made sure to make the opposition’s total difficult, and the game continued to a super over. They unfortunately dropped two points since they were unable to pursue the goal that was assigned for them in the super over.

That means Pakistan would have a lot of pressure to defeat their neighbours on Sunday. In order to make it to the Super 8, they would need to accomplish an incredible feat if they lost. Should Team India prevail in the match, they will have qualified for the Super 8s.
