Both of the teams are at the peak of their forms and will be leading to this clash riding over dominating victories. Pakistan and India started the tournament with victories and drove that momentum to the second match. Maintaining themselves in the top Fours, India and Pakistan have 4-4 points and just differ by NRR.
India entered the tournament riding over a 2-1 ODI series victory over Australia on home soil and have been able to keep that momentum upright till now. They first defeated Australia by 6 wickets to kickstart their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign. India lost 3 early wickets in the span of the first 12 balls but Virat’s constructive 85 and KL’s firey 97* took India to the top.
India won their second match of the ICC World Cup against Afghanistan. India bowled first and on a flat surface, the Indian bowling unit managed to restrict Afghanistan to under 272 which was never going to be enough against an in-form Indian top order. While Ishan Kishan(47) held one end, Rohit Sharma(133) wreaked Havoc by the other end and unleashed the beast mode. He looked unstoppable and scored 100 in just 63 balls (Fastest Indian). Virat weaved his half-century and took India home with 8 wickets remaining.
While India got both of their matches with ease, Pakistan, on the other hand, faced some challenges for their first win against Netherlands. Pakistan posted a moderate 286-run target on the board and on several occasions it looked like Netherlands were going to get their first World Cup victory but Pakistan prevailed at the end by a huge margin of 81 runs.
Sri Lanka were the next team Pakistan faced. Sri Lanka put on a mammoth total of 344 runs and Pakistan, even after losing a few early wickets, covered the total with some balls to spare. Rizwan was the man who took Pakistan past the target with his stellar 131*. In the meantime, a major concern for Pakistan is their skipper being out of form for quite a while now.
Numbers are in favor of the home side in the context of this fierce contest. India have never lost to Pakistan in the ODI World Cup. Pakistan have battled in 7 ODI matches in the World Cup against India and still thriving for their first victory.
