India vs Pakistan

India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series in nearly a decade, and the only time they meet is during international games. That is why when these traditional rivals square off, it is a big deal for fans and experts all across the world.

India began their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a comfortable 8-wicket victory over Ireland, with captain Rohit Sharma scoring a tough half-century. There were more positives for India, as their fast bowlers appeared in excellent form and were able to keep Ireland under 100.

On the other side, Pakistan suffered a defeat against the United States in their first Group A match, which was decided in the Super Over. Pakistan had a mini-collapse at the top of the batting order, and their bowling performance was as disappointing.
