India vs Pakistan Live Streaming: How To Watch IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2024 Match On TV And Online?

Team India will face Pakistan in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday. The 19th match of the tournament will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York from 8 PM IST onwards.

A confident and well-adjusted India would look to capitalise on an unpredictable Pakistan's vulnerable state and lack of familiarity with the tricky conditions in New York.

Heading into this high-profile contest, the 22-yard pitch remains a major talking point, having already faced significant criticism for its unpredictability, which the ICC has officially acknowledged.

In the six innings of the three matches hosted at the stadium so far, teams have surpassed the 100-run mark only twice. Some former players have wondered aloud whether the low-scoring conditions would be of any help in selling cricket to the American market through the showpiece.

The uneven bounce of the surface has also raised safety concerns for the batters, especially after Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was hit on his shoulder, forcing him to stop batting during the tournament-opener against Ireland on June 5.

The Pakistan team, however, is yet to acclimatise to the conditions at Nassau Stadium. They arrived in New York on Thursday night following their shocking defeat to tournament debutants USA and took the next day off.

As a result, Babar Azam and his squad have had limited time to adjust to these challenging conditions, which could be a disadvantage heading into this crucial encounter. And a defeat against India could significantly complicate their qualification prospects.

For Rohit, the match against Pakistan is just another match, and he has played down the emotional factor.

"Nothing has changed from the last seven months because we played them in the Asia Cup and now the World Cup. Earlier it was a different ball game because we used to play them maybe once in four years or two years," he said in the pre-match press meet on Saturday.

Coming off an embarrassing loss to co-hosts USA, Pakistan head coach Gary Kirsten said Babar Azam’s side won’t require any extra motivation while facing arch-rivals India on Sunday.

"It's a big game India (versus) Pakistan, there's no need for me to motivate the team anymore. They are well-motivated, they are focused for this game," Kirsten told the media on the eve of the match.

"We have to forget about the last couple of days and just move forward, that's the only way you can deal with life. Results are results (and they) take care of themselves," Pakistan’s limited-overs coach added.
