Great journey of both the teams so far
Both India and Pakistan teams have been unbeaten in the tournament so far. The Indian team has defeated America and Namibia in its initial matches, while the Pakistan team, captained by Salman Ali Aga, is full of confidence after defeating Netherlands and America. Currently, India is at the first position in the points table with an excellent net run rate of +3.050.
India’s tremendous dominance in head-to-head records
In the history of T20 World Cup, the Indian team has always had the upper hand. Both the teams have come face to face 8 times so far in this mega event, out of which India has registered a resounding victory in 7 matches. Pakistan’s only success was in the year 2021. If we talk about the overall T20 International record, there too India is ahead with a huge lead of 13-3.
Challenge of Colombo pitch and weather
Today’s high-voltage match will be played on the same used pitch where Zimbabwe caused an upset by defeating Australia. The pitch is expected to be slow, due to which the role of mystery spinners of both the teams, Varun Chakraborty and Usman Tariq can change the course of the match. However, the matter of concern for fans is the weather as there is a 50-70% chance of rain in Colombo today. Thunderstorms in the evening can disrupt the match, causing the risk of overs being cut short.
