Preview: On Sunday, June 9, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, one of the most anticipated games of the 2017 Twenty20 World Cup between India and Pakistan is scheduled to occur. India defeated Ireland handily by eight wickets to begin their season. In the Super Over, Pakistan fell to the hosts, the USA, which was a terrible start for them.
This undoubtedly reduced the enthusiasm for the IND-PAK match and undermined Pakistan’s confidence. Although the Men in Blue now lead the match, the tension and energy between these two sides should make for an exciting clash.
India’s prospects of qualifying for the Super 8s would be enhanced with one more victory, but a defeat in the next round would all but guarantee the Men in Green’s elimination.
Another benefit for India is that they will be playing at the same location. Here, the slower pitch gives the bowlers additional support. Pakistan has an excellent pace unit, and they will mainly rely on it to win.

Pitch Report: Nassau County Stadium has a sluggish pitch, making it extremely tough for batters to score runs. All three matches played here so far have been low-scoring, with two of them failing to score more than 100 runs. Pace bowlers will have more help on the surface than spinners.
