The much-awaited India and Pakistan match takes center stage at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled for June 9 at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
However, the tale has a twist—the weather gods seem to have their own plans.
Rain Clouds Gather
As cricket enthusiasts gear up for this high-stakes encounter, meteorological forecasts raise concerns. Accuweather predicts a 51 percent chance of rain at 11 AM local time (8:30 PM IST), just half an hour after the match’s scheduled start.
Both teams have played one match each. India beat Ireland easily, while Pakistan lost to host the USA in a big upset during the tournament.
Kohli’s Heroics and Babar’s Challenge
The last time these arch-rivals faced off in the T20 World Cup was in October 2022 at a packed Melbourne Cricket Stadium. Wounded by their previous loss against Pakistan, India staged a remarkable comeback.
With 28 runs needed off the final eight balls, Virat Kohli unleashed an almost impossible six straight down the ground. His unbeaten 82* off 53 balls remains etched in T20 history.
But Pakistan won’t back down easily. Led by the talented Babar Azam, they aim to upset the apple cart.
Their lone World Cup victory against India came in the 2021 edition in Dubai, breaking India’s winning streak.
