The India vs Pakistan match could be the game of the season, potentially revitalizing the underwhelming T20 World Cup currently taking place in the USA. When these two arch-rivals face off, fans from around the world gather to witness the epic clash. Although India has a better chance of winning, the pitch at Nassau Cricket Stadium will make this a critical match. Despite this, India still holds the upper hand for three reasons.
Low in confidence Pakistan
Pakistan would be low in confidence after facing a humiliating loss against the inexperienced United States in a Super Over. Looking at recent matches, the Pakistan team is in horrible form in the shortest format of the game. As preparation for the T20 World Cup, Pakistan played three T20 series against New Zealand, Ireland, and defending champions England. However, their strategy backfired as they lost two of the three series, with the Irish team giving them tough competition. Despite playing a substantial number of T20 matches, Pakistan has not yet found their winning combination.

India’s dominance over Pak in ICC tournament
The Indian cricket team has maintained its legacy of dominating Pakistan in ICC tournaments. Apart from Pakistan’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2021, they have not been able to overpower India. With a 7-1 head-to-head record in the T20 World Cup, India holds a mental edge over their neighbors.
India vs Pakistan is always a match of nerves, and historically, India has consistently won this battle.
Batting gives India an edge
Nassau Cricket Stadium definitely favors the pacers. Pakistan boasts a quality fast bowling lineup with stars like Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Naseem Shah. However, this time India also features world-class pacers such as Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Arshdeep Singh. The key difference, however, lies in the batting, which is India’s strong suit.
When comparing the batting lineups, India has more experienced and skilled batters than Pakistan. From Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to Axar Patel, India has a deep and formidable batting order that gives them an edge in this crucial aspect of the game.
