Talking about the toss, Rohit Sharma said that we also wanted to bowl first. As a batting team, we have to test the pitch as quickly as possible and reach a respectable score on it. We have played a few matches here and tried to understand it but the wicket is a little different. He further said that every match is important. This is a game where anything can happen. We are going with the same team.
Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistani team who came to bowl after winning the toss, said that due to the weather and the moisture in the pitch, we want to bowl first. Babar further said that we have four fast bowlers that we want to take advantage of here. While leaving, Babar said that we are ready and will try our best to achieve victory. Also we have made a change in our team.
Time for the toss – Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam line up for the crucial toss at the Nassau ground. Meanwhile, amid much fanfare, the coin was tossed, with Pakistan winning the toss and electing to bowl first.
Toss delayed due to rain…
Currently, the players of both the teams are seen warming up. There is not much delay in the toss and playing eleven…
However, in the history of the T20 World Cup, India have had the upper hand over Pakistan by a large margin and Babar now wants to change that. In such a situation, it remains to be seen which team will perform better on the field and win. If seen, both teams have big names involved who can play well in any situation. For India in this match, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Skye will have to score runs with their bats, while in bowling, Boom-Boom Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh will depend a lot. On the other hand, Pakistan team will also come with full preparation for this match. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are their trump cards in the batting, but a lot will also depend on Iftikhar Ahmed and Fakhar Zaman in the middle order. The bowling of this team has big names like Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, who the Indian batsmen will have to overcome. So now it remains to be seen which team will face more pressure and win in this great match.
The 19th match of this competition is to be played between India and Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. So have you guys fastened your seat belts, if not then quickly grab your popcorn and cold drinks and sit in front of the TV because once this match starts you won’t even get a chance to move. Both the teams will be here to play their second match of the competition. On the one hand, the Men in Blue team is coming here after winning their previous match, on the other hand, Pakistan lost to the USA in the Super Over. This means that he will now look to attack India like a wounded lion, which Rohit and company are already prepared for.
India 6, Pakistan 1, this is the total of 7 T20 World Cup matches played between these two teams so far, where the men in blue have completely dominated.
2.5 overs (0 runs) no run was scored.
