The India-Pakistan cricket match which is scheduled to be played in the T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, East Meadow, New York on 9 June is already increasing the excitement of cricket fans of both the nations.
India and Pakistan don’t play much cricket due to political tensions between both the countries and they face each other only in multi-nation tournaments. Moreover, if we talk about the T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan have played 7 matches till now in which India has emerged victorious 6 times and Pakistan has managed to clinch victory in just 1 match.
The former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has shed his opinion on India-Pakistan matches and he feels that it will be tricky to play against Pakistan because we don’t play much against them. During a show, Bhajji said, “At the end of the day, playing against Pakistan is always tricky as both countries do not play much against each other. We do not know much about their strong and weak zones but the Indian management keeps track of every player and their strong and weak zones.”
He further added, “In the bowling department too, Pakistan bowlers keep themselves mentally and physically strong. These aspects will be taken care of by the Indian team. These things will come into play when both sides will battle it out on the field.”
Harbhajan points out the important thing that matters the most in matches as he said, “It also depends on what decision you take on that particular day. You know Virat Kohli plays cover drive beautifully but bowlers still check him in the same area to get an outside edge in the slip. These chances you have to take according to the conditions. It is not important how much you know about your opponent but how much you are aware of your game. That is what matters the most and everything else is basic.”
