One more win would boost India’s Super 8s qualification chances, while a loss in the upcoming encounter would almost shut the door on the Men in Green.
Preview
In this prediction, we will analyze the IND vs PAK fantasy 11 Prediction for T20 World Cup 2024, tips, playing XI, pitch report & injury updates for Match 19. One of the high-profile matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup between India and Pakistan is set to take place on Sunday, June 9, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. India kicked off their campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Ireland. Meanwhile, Pakistan got off to a horrendous start as they lost to the hosts USA in the Super Over.
This certainly dampened Pakistan’s confidence and the hype of the IND-PAK contest. The Men in Blue are the favourites now, but the pressure and intensity when these teams face each other will hopefully make the battle more interesting. One more win would boost India’s Super 8s qualification chances, while a loss in the upcoming encounter would almost shut the door on the Men in Green.
India will be playing at the same venue, giving them another advantage. The pitch here is slower and supports the bowlers more. Pakistan have a quality pace unit and they will rely heavily on them to taste victory.

Pitch Report
Captains
Virat IND | bat- 9
Virat Kohli is the backbone of the Indian batting unit. He has a good record against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup and will aim to dominate once again. Although the right-hander fell for just one run in the first match, he recently had a stellar campaign in the 2024 IPL.
Rohit Sharma IND | bat- 9
Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 52 off 37 balls against Ireland on a tricky surface. The veteran opener started the campaign on a high and will look to continue the momentum.
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | wk- 9
Mohammad Rizwan is one of Pakistan’s most reliable batters. The wicketkeeper-batter is known for his ability to anchor the innings and slowly accelerate as the innings progresses.
Top
Hardik Pandya IND | BAT- 9
Hardik Pandya has once again proved that he is a different player in major tournaments. He shone with the bat in the warm-up match and took three wickets for 27 runs against Ireland. The all-rounder has a good record against Pakistan.
Jasprit Bumrah IND | BOWL-9
Jasprit Bumrah is the wreaker-in-chief. The right-arm pacer won the Player of the Match against Ireland for picking up two wickets at an economy of just 2. Bumrah is likely to shine again in bowling-friendly conditions.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL- 9
Shaheen Afridi will be the key for Pakistan. The Indian top-order has a weakness against left-arm pacers and Afridi will look to exploit that. His initial overs in the powerplay will be crucial for the team.
Budget
Mohammad Amir PAK | bowl- 9
Mohammad Amir is another left-arm pacer who can trouble the Indian top order with his swing variations. He has given the Indian batters a tough time in the past and is expected to have an effective outing in bowling-friendly conditions.
Babar Azam PAK | bat- 9
Babar Azam was the team’s second top-scorer in the first match against the USA. But his 44 runs came at a concerning strike rate. The Pakistan skipper aims to lead the team from the front in a must-win game.
Arshdeep Singh IND | bowl- 8.5
Arshdeep Singh had a good time with the new ball in the last game, taking two wickets in the first three overs. The left-arm pacer looks good in USA conditions.
