Indian team report, past performance and the way forward.
The Indian side has played two matches in this stadium in New York, one against Bangladesh (warm-up game) and another one against Ireland, and in both games, they won comprehensively and showed their character. But still, there few questions that this Indian side would have to answer.
This against Pakistan will be way more different if compared to the prior ones; the bowling unit of this team (Pakistan) is very competitive but another factor that comes into play is the pitch at this ground (New York), which is not something the usual, it’s providing an uneven bounce for the pacers which would be something to care of for the Indian batting unit.
To understand the situation clearly, if we analyze the match against Ireland, we can see the problems which Indian batters had to face against their bowling, and to compare with the Pakistan bowling side it would be more challenging for the Indian side.
The middle order of India has not been tested yet but it seems likely today. If India wants to carry the World Cup without any losses then the middle order of the same would have to take responsibility if required.
This is a great opportunity for players like Shivam Dubey, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav to project their potential because playing the world in a country of 1.4 billion is not something anyone could get easily.
The bowling unit of India seems good till now but this match would be an actual test for them as the batting line-up of Pakistan is better than the previous teams they’ve played. This would be a great match for the Indian side to redeem their mistakes of November 19, 2023.
IND vs PAK Head to Head
In the head-to-head comparison, the Indian side has been dominating against the Pakistani side by 6-1. But if they can continue their performance again this time would be something that Indian fans will be waiting to witness.
Pakistan’s line-up already seems down from their last match against the USA, so there could be some mistakes they might commit under pressure and the Indian side should wait and capitalize on the same.
Pitch & Weather report.
The weather report seems a bit dicey as there could be some showering in New York but it’s not certain as of now.
As far as the pitch is concerned, this is not the ideal pitch for any game of cricket but as ICC has taken some measures to counter the extra bounce, there could be something exciting waiting for the Indian as well as the Pakistani side. But accessing from the previous matches we can say that the fast bowling will be asking a lot of questions here.
