IND vs PAK ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Match 16 Preview:
In the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader, India will lock horns against their arch-rivals Pakistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The two teams last met a couple of years ago in the World Cup 2019 Group stage, where India defeated their neighbors by a convincing margin to keep their unbeatable record against them still strong and breathing.
India-Pakistan battles are always a high-tension game, with players from both ends experiencing immense pressure coupled with huge expectations from their respective countries. Pakistan has faced India on 5 occasions in the history of the T20 World Cup so far and ended up getting beaten each time.
To turn the pages of history, their first two meetings in this format were during the 2007 T20 World Cup, where both of those games ended in a nail-biting fashion, including the Finals of the tournament.
Pakistan has managed to defeat India only thrice in the ICC events so far and all three of those wins came in the Champions Trophy, including the 2017 final.
Both teams had decent practice before the commencement of the World Cup as both of them played two games each. Pakistan won their first game quite convincingly against West Indies by 7 wickets while losing the second game to South Africa on the last ball. On the other hand, India won both of their warm-up games by a decent margin, first against England by 7 wickets and second against Australia by 8 wickets.
Fakhar Zaman scored the highest for Pakistan (98 runs in 2 games) while KL Rahul topped the score chart from India (90 runs in 2 games). In the bowling section, Shaheen Afridi grabbed 4 wickets in 2 games while Mohammed Shami picked 3 wickets in the only game that he played.
Both sides have some excellent short-format players who carry the potential to change games single-handedly, hence none of the two sides can be written off so early. Pakistan is known for its unpredictable cricket while India is known for its consistent domination. India and Pakistan are placed second and third respectively in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings and there is a very little margin of separation between them.
Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam’s form has been decent in recent times whereas Virat Kohli’s form is a matter of concern for the Indian side. India has a robust batting attack while Pakistan has a lethal bowling lineup and the matchup between the two departments would be the one to witness.
The two sides have played a total of 8 T20I games against each other so far, where India won 7 of those. Pakistan would be desperate to break their World Cup losing streak and help their side with an opening win. On the other hand, the Indian side would be high on confidence after the two successful outings in the Warm-up games.
India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is considered the mother of all clashes, and another breathtaking encounter is anticipated here on Sunday.
