Pacers are going to be the dominant factor in the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match on Sunday (June 9) at the Nassau International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York, feels former India cricketer Aakash Chopra.
Former India Test cricketer and a well-known cricket expert, Aakash has given his analogy after looking at the three games (India vs Bangladesh warm-up match, Sri Lanka vs South Africa and India vs Ireland).
Why would Pakistan fans be happy with the New York pitch?
Despite Pakistan starting their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on a disappointing note, India vs Pakistan could bring cheers to the Pakistanis. Talking about the reason behind Pakistan fans’ happiness, Aakash said, “If the pitch has a little bit of spice and the ball is swinging left or right, then they will be thinking that they can win this matchup in the powerplay.”
Can Kuldeep Yadav be included in India playing 11?
Kuldeep Yadav has been a great nemesis of Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. But would that mean India would change their playing 11 combinations to try and include him, probably in place of Axar Patel?
Will Pakistan play all four pacers?
Pakistan have a great pace bowling quartet in Afridi, Aamir, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. Chopra believes that they should play all of them against India. Although against the US, Afrid and Aamir looked ordinary, while Raif and Naseem were only good in patches.
