India and Pakistan overview for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Both the teams have played 1 match each till now in this edition. The Indian team has started their campaign on a positive note, registering a convincing victory against Ireland. The men in blue thrashed the Irish team by 8 wickets.  On the other hand, Pakistan faced an embarrassing defeat against the debutants/host USA, in the super over. This shocking loss has exposed their inconsistent bowling and average fielding. The Pakistan cricket team has a perfect chance to bounce back and retain their lost glory. Is Rohit Sharma and Co. ready for the challenge?
