After India’s great victory against Ireland, now the litmus test for Team India is going to be held on 9th June. Where the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma will clash with its old rival team Pakistan. Currently, Team India is on top in Group A. Everyone is waiting for this match to be held in New York. However, India has defeated Pakistan many times in T20 World Cup. Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi believes that both India and Pakistan are the most competitive teams in cricket and the team that will handle the pressure better on 9th June in New York will win.
The match between these two teams will be held in America for the first time. Pakistan’s former captain will witness it by sitting among the audience. T20 World Cup ambassador Afridi told ICC that those who want to go to America should know that Pakistan’s match against India is like our Super Bowl. Afridi further said that I loved playing against India and I believe that this is the biggest rivalry in sports. When I used to play in those matches, I get a lot of love and respect from Indian fans. This is about both the teams. Both the teams have a lot of talent, they just need to unite on that day, this will be the case in this match and the entire tournament. The team that keeps its patience will win.
Currently, USA and West Indies are the hosts of T20 World Cup 2024. Super-8 and knockouts will be held in West Indies. Afridi said that it is difficult to choose the favorite in the shortest format of the game. The former all-rounder has said that T20 cricket is very unpredictable and teams now have a lot of depth in batting. Your number eight batsman can win the match by scoring runs at a strike rate of 150. I hope Pakistan will win this time but it is difficult to choose the favorite.
