Overview:
For Pakistan, the match is about much more than securing two points. It's an opportunity to move past the heavy loss they suffered and the aftermath, including the tense moment when India's players chose not to take part in the usual post-match handshake.
The upcoming clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday in the Super Four stage promises to be intense, with both teams aware that victory brings them closer to the final, while a defeat could push them further from the tournament’s mega match.
India enter as the favourites, not just because of their impressive seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the Group A match on 14th September, but also due to their position as the ICC’s top-ranked men’s T20 team. On top of this, they are the defending champions and hold the title of the T20 World Cup.
