In the previous match, India outclassed their arch-rivals in each department and registered a 5-wicket win. Pakistan batted first but could not put up their desired total, thanks to Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya’s exceptional spells.
Skipper Babar Azam looked pale. He needs to take more responsibility and lead the Pakistan batting lineup to put up strong competition in front of this high-flying Indian side. On the other side, India have been in outstanding form. Every member of the unit is capable of taking the charge when the team needs it. All eyes will be on Hardik Pandya, who stole the show in the previous encounter.
India has a good track record against Pakistan in Twenty20 Internationals. In the last five encounters, India has won four of five times, while Pakistan's only victory was in October 2021.
Virat Kohli is undoubtedly the highest run scorer in India vs Pakistan contests in T20I matches with 346 runs. He has the best score of 78* which is the best by an Indian batsman in T20 cricket against Pakistan.
