India vs Pakistan Predictions
India have won their last five T20Is in a row and are in good form with bat and ball. Pakistan haven’t picked up a win in their last five matches, although two matches were rained-off. Pakistan have plenty of talent but have not switched into gear as a team unit.
- India’s Virat Kohli has scored 51, 70*, 42, 92, 27, 47 & 33 in his last 8 innings.
- India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 104*, 24, 67, 24, 45 & 42, 23 & 52* in his last 8 innings.
- Pakistan’s Babar Azam has scored 75, 32, 36 & 44 in his last 4 innings.
- Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman has scored 78 & 45 in his last 4 innings.
Head-to-Head
India has won three of the last five T20Is against Pakistan, losing two matches.
India Form
India were on fire in their World Cup opener against Ireland, winning by eight wickets.
India bowled Ireland out for 96 off 16 overs, Hardik Pandya (3/27) returning the best figures with the ball.
India raced to the win for the loss of just two wickets after a great start from Rohit Sharma, who retired hurt after scoring 52 off 37 balls. Rishabh Pant (36 off 26 balls) took India home with 46 balls in hand.
India Team News
India will be without Rohit Sharma who retired hurt on 52 against Ireland and was hit on the thumb during Friday’s practice
Pakistan Form
Pakistan came into the World Cup on the back of a 2-0 series loss against England and lost their opening match on a Super Over against the USA.
Pakistan scored a decent 159/7 off their 20 overs on a tricky wicket in Dallas. Babar Azam scored 44 and Shadab Khan added a swift 40 off 25 balls, but the rest of the top order failed to fire.
The USA chased well and forced a Super Over with a four off the last ball of their 20 overs, reaching 159 for the loss of three wickets. Mohammad Amir was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers (1/25).
The USA scored 18/0 in their Super Over, to which Pakistan could only reply with 13/1 as the USA picked up a historic win.
Pakistan Team News
Pakistan’s top-order needs to support Babar Azam, who is batting superbly. Their bowlers are dangerous but have been lacking the final bit of control needed to knock sides over.
Verdict
I am backing India to win. I am also backing Virat Kohli to top score for India.
Babar Azam is a good bet to top score for the Pakistan.
