Analysis
The Indian team has had a settled XI with players continuing to play consistently. The Indian batting has looked incredibly formidable with Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant finding form ahead of the clash against Pakistan. On the bowling front, the Men in Blue boast assumably the best attack across the tournament with three quality pacers, two spinners who can bat, and an all-rounder in Hardik Pandya.
Regarding Pakistan, the Babar Azam-led side had an abysmal opening game in the T20 World Cup 2024 as they lost in the Super Over against the USA. Their batting seemed out of sorts with Babar Azam holding one end up as wickets kept falling around him. On the bowling front, Naseem Shah seemed like the only wicket-taking option with Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf struggling to find the right lengths.
