“New York is not our home ground. We have played two matches here but we don’t have much awareness about its nature. It behaves differently on different days, so even the curator is confused,” Rohit said during the pre-match media interaction. “So, you can imagine the kind of thinking we need to put in. We don’t know on which pitch we are playing (against Pakistan), so whoever plays better cricket will win the match,” he added.

Babar Azam (captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmad, Usman Khan (wicketkeeper), Azam Khan (wicket-keeper), Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi and Abrar Ahmed.

When it comes to cricket World Cups, India's domination over Pakistan remains unmatched. But for the moment focus is on T20 World Cup alone, as the two traditional rivals get set to meet in the 2024 edition of the tournament on Sunday. The Group A battle will witness fans storming the 34,000-capacity pop-up stadium in New York's Nassau County to see whether India can make it 7-1 or will Pakistan reduce the head-to-head record to 6-2.

If Pakistan lose this game, they would be practically out of the tournament; whereas India still have wriggle room to reach the super eight. India would begin the favourites, but you cannot bet against Pakistan any time or anywhere, thus taking their fans through a roulette of emotions.

A defeat to USA has exacerbated Pakistan's problems by a fair margin even before their tournament had won shape. A harrowing loss followed by a clash with India has offered limited time for a turnaround but that's a route that has usually found the best out of Pakistan's competitive edge. But do they have the batting to make amends? With Rizwan and Babar at the top and a shot of underwhelming bats to follow, Pakistan's batting has lacked an X-factor in the format. Left-hander Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed offer some power. However, a slew of anchors above them in the order has riddled Pakistan's T20I batting with so many questions heading into a must-win contest.

Cloudy sky with thunderstorms, the skies over the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday morning are expected to be slightly overcast, but the fans and organisers are hopeful that the biggest game of this T20 World Cup, India vs Pakistan, will be spared by the rain gods.

Ticket prices for the India-Pakistan game are conspicuously high. General admission tickets are priced at $300, while premium tickets range from $2,500 to $10,000. These prices are steep for the South Asian community in New York, the primary audience for the game. According to Pew Research, the median monthly income for lower-income Asian households in the USA is $2,625, and for middle-income households, it's $9,300. Expecting fans to spend such amounts on tickets is unrealistic.

Pakistan have lost World Cup games to newcomers before, most notably to Bangladesh in 1999 and Ireland in 2007, but their Super Over loss to the USA was a spectacular new low in this T20 World Cup 2024.

The India-Pakistan contest live broadcast will be available at Star Sports Network. Live Streaming of the match is available on Disney plus Hotstar.

This eagerly awaited encounter will begin at 8pm IST with the toss taking place at 7:30pm.

India and Pakistan have faced each other in 12 T20Is. The Men in Blue hold an 8-3 advantage over their neighbours, with one match ending in a tie. In World Cups, India have won 5 out of 7 encounters, with one victory going to Pakistan and the other ending in a tie, which India then won in a Bowl Out.

The pitch for this match has garnered a lot of attention across the cricketing world. The ICC has prepared a set of drop-in pitches, but they have been sub-standard. No team has managed to score over 100 at this venue, with the bounce being wildly inconsistent and at times appearing unsafe. Batters have struggled to time the ball, finding the surface tricky in previous games. Both fast bowlers and spinners have excelled here, keeping the batters guessing.

The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan, often hailed as cricket's greatest rivalry, is set to reignite at the ICC T20 World Cup on Sunday, June 9. The match will unfold at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York at 8 PM IST.
