India-Pakistan, the two heavyweights of world cricket, are going to play a match tonight (Sunday). This fight between the two teams can also be called the biggest advertisement of cricket. Pakistan have made a stumbling start to the T20 World Cup, so there is no room for them to think about anything other than victory, whoever their opponent is. On the other hand, India, who won the first match, will certainly aim to remain unbeaten in this thrilling encounter.

The match will start at 8:30 PM Bangladesh time at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Due to border tensions and political animosity, India and Pakistan have not met in a bilateral series for almost 17 years. As a result, the cricket world has to wait for ICC or any mega event of Asian cricket to see such a prestigious fight. The ongoing T20 World Cup in USA and West Indies has provided that opportunity.

Everyone from legendary cricketers, analysts to analysts are looking forward to see the fight between the two finalists of the first edition of T20 World Cup. The wait started after the World Cup schedule was announced. Whoever wins in the end in such a match of history, glory and prestige; The victory actually belongs to cricket. Although there is currently a big difference in the strength of the two teams. India enter the American soil as one of the tournament favourites, while unpredictable Pakistan are seen as dark horses.

While Pakistan dominate the face-off between the two teams, India is a poker name for Babar Azam in big tournaments. They lost the title to Rohit Sharma in the first mega event of the short version. However, after the 2017 Champions Trophy, Pakistan defeated India in the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, the victory in the 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup is in the pocket of Indians. Although Pakistan won the group stage in the last Asia Cup, India won the Super Four and played in the final. After defeating Sri Lanka, Rohit-Kohli won the Asia Series crown.

Gary Kersten was the coach of India in 2011 ODI World Cup. It is under him that the Babars are going to play against India. Speaking about today's match plan, Karsten said, 'There is no denying that this is a big match. But cricket should be seen as cricket. You have to give your best in every game. You have to hit the ball in the right place, make enough runs and take catches. We will definitely try to do that tomorrow, if we play to our potential, we have a good chance to win the match.

Pakistan coach expects to play with new enthusiasm after dealing with the defeat to the United States, 'We have forgotten what happened two days ago. Losing a match is definitely not a good thing. I don't think anyone in the team needs to be motivated separately anymore. We want the cricketers to shine in their individual skills as well, but we are looking at this match like any other match, we don't want to take any pressure separately, here the pitch is basically a bowling aid.

Before coming down against Pakistan, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that he does not think about the opponent, "It is important for us to play good cricket." It is important to focus on your own game rather than the opponent or the pitch. Nothing has changed for the match against Pakistan. Seven months ago we played against them in Asia Cup and World Cup. We have succeeded even in difficult times. I never want to rely on one person to win a match. Everyone has to play their part.

Although Pakistan lost to the Americans in the first match, Rohit is not taking it too seriously, 'We have played several matches against them (Pakistan) in the recent past. But earlier one was played every four years. However, this match cannot be thought too far in advance. The color of the game changes with every over. Despite losing to Zimbabwe in the last World Cup, Pakistan reached the final. It's a different format, where who plays how on a given day matters. They must see where their problems are.
