IND vs PAK Match Prediction - Oct 24, 2021

We are still quite some time away from the marquee India - Pakistan contest in the ICC World T20 World Cup and the round of speculations has already started. The chatter surrounding the match is already more than what has been for the rest of the tournament so far.

The match between these two sides is already a pretty rare commodity these days with these two sides meeting only in ICC events. The last time these two teams met was way back in the 2019 fifty-over World Cup with India emerging on top in that match.

Even though India have done a lot better than their rivals in the recent head-to-head matches, all the history is pretty much a backstory when these two teams take the field. Apart from that, this match carries high importance when it comes to the table dynamics given how tightly their group is packed.

The match between India and Pakistan will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 24th October 2021.

IND vs PAK Team Previews

India

This will be Virat Kohli's last tournament as a captain for India in T20Is and that is a reason good enough that he will be as motivated to do well as he has ever been. Motivation aside, India have several things going for them coming into the main event of this tournament. Having said that, the main event can be an altogether different kind of assignment and with stakes running high, the pressure will be immense.

One factor that will be weighing into India's favor, as far as confidence is concerned, is that Pakistan have never beaten India in a World Cup game, regardless of the format. Another clear advantage for India going into the match would be the familiarity with the conditions they are already having, owing to the number of matches all of their played as a part of Indian Premier League 2021.

Also, the performances that India showcased in their two warm-up fixtures would certainly inspire confidence. The form of their middle-order has been under scrutiny for a long time and the way Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant batted in the warm-ups adds to India's strength with the bat.

All in all, India have a terrific side on paper and the fact that they are already acquainted with the conditions would be their biggest advantage. We saw that help them massively in the two warm-ups and it is not going to be a lot different in the subsequent matches as well. If India are able to perform to their potential, they should be able to keep their spectacular record against Pakistan intact.

India Playing 11

Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, V Kohli, SA Yadav, RR Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, JJ Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.


Pakistan

Pakistan are heading into this World Cup on the back of a great T20I record since their last World Cup campaign and they will want to align that performance with the World T20 performance as well. As always, Pakistan have always been an unpredictable side and it is not different this year as well.

Pakistan's board has a new chairman in charge and eleven of the earlier scheduled T20I matches that were to be played before the World Cup got canceled. Amidst all that chaos, Pakistan still managed to do a decent job in the warm-ups. They defeated West Indies quite comprehensively and kept South Africa on the edge for the most part of the second warm-up.

Pakistan have been doing pretty well thus far, but their assignment against India is not going to be easy. They have picked up a decent side that has a good amalgamation of youth and experience and are well and truly capable of defeating any side on their day, especially in this format. If they are able to play to their potential in this upcoming match, beating them is going to be a colossal task, even for high-flying India.

IND vs PAK Toss Prediction

This is a pressure-cooker game and runs on the board wi be gold. However, determining and then setting a safe score here will not be easy and going too hard without getting acquainted with the surface can backfire. Also, dew, if at all it is there, will help the team batting second. All those reasons will be key at the toss and, therefore, we believe that captain winning the toss is likely to elect to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

With the first round of tournament being played at Abu Dhabi, we haven't seen a lot of this surface in the World Cup thus far. However, we did see a lot in the Indian Premier League and scoring runs was not easy. This is a venue with large boundaries and the importance of running between the wickets will be massive. Having said that, batsman once set can truly utilize the surface to his advance. Also, this is just about the season when the dew begins to mark its presence in UAE. This is a high-pressure game and runs on the board will be important. The par score here will be around 170 and the team batting first should be happy with anything more than that.

Even though Pakistan did well with the bat in the warm-ups, their bowling looked a little out of sorts. One of the reasons for that was the experience of lack thereof in their bowling lineup. On the contrary, India have a superb bowling unit with almost everyone who is likely to play doing well. For that reason, we believe that Pakistan will be the team to concede more number of extras.

KL Rahul may not have gotten the Orange Cap in the IPL 2021, he still looks to be in red-hot form. He was one of the chief architects of India's win in both the warm-ups and will be looking to carry on with his form. Besides, he is someone who likes playing big. Bet on him to be the best batsmen for India in this upcoming match.

    Rohit Sharma - To Score a fifty - Yes

Rohit Sharma hasn't really performed in the last few seasons of the IPL, but he has been a beast in international cricket. We saw him score a superb fifty against the Aussies in the warm-ups and dismissing him is going to be a challenge. Once set, he is known to play big knocks. We will be batting at the best possible time to bat - against the new ball and that will add to his advantage. A fifty is certainly on the cards for Rohit Sharma.
