USA will be up against Pakistan in Match 11 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024. The match will be played at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Dallas on June 6 at 09:00 PM IST.
Pakistan will be opening their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against co-hosts USA on Thursday in Texas. The 2022-runners-up will be coming to this clash after facing 2-0 defeat against England in a recently-concluded T20I series. Despite having a horrible outing against England, Babar Azam and co are strong contenders for the T20 World Cup title. However, West Indies great Ian Bishop has issued an advice for the 2009 champions that they should "change template", in order to redeem their performance.
Pakistan ended their winless streak over India at World Cups during the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE. Prior to that contest, India had won all the matches against Pakistan at World Cups (ODI and T20). Shaheen Afridi broke the back of the Indian batting order by taking the wickets of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who was the captain back then. Needing 152 to win, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan then ensured that Pakistan finished off the chase without losing a single wicket and more than two overs to spare.
The Indian cricket team opens its T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland on June 05 but all eyes are already on the June 09 clash against Pakistan. The two teams don't play against each other in bilateral series, with ICC and ACC events being the only occasions where fans get to witness them face-off. As the anticipation for the June 09 clash builds, former India pacer S Sreesanth has urged the team's marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah to 'finish' Pakistan's Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
Only once in the history of World Cups, be it 50-over or T20, have Pakistan beaten India. The triumph for the team came in the T20 World Cup 2021 when Babar Azam's men got the better of the Indian team in Dubai. India have won 7 times against Pakistan when it comes to T20 World Cups and lost just once while in the 50-over format, India are unbeaten on 8 occasions. Mohammad Rizwan, who was part of the Pakistan team that defeated India in the T20 World Cup 2021, recalled the stunning difference that one win made in the lives of Pakistani cricketers.
As the T20 World Cup looms on the horizon, former West Indies legend Ian Bishop emphasised the need for Pakistan's seasoned openers, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan "to shift another gear up in the way they approach their batting", while also advocating for opportunities for younger talents like Saim Ayub and Mohammad Harris. In the lead-up to the World Cup, Pakistan's management reverted to their tried-and-tested opening duo of Babar and Rizwan during the T20I series against England. Despite their historical success, including numerous record-breaking partnerships, Bishop believes a change is necessary.
Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja slammed the management following Pakistan's 2-0 T20I series defeat against England just before the T20 World Cup. At Kennington Oval, England outplayed Pakistan in all facets of the game by chasing down 158 with more than four overs to spare in the 4th T20I. Pakistan lacked firepower in their middle order and missed the magic from the pacers while defending their target. Ramiz has voiced his concerns regarding the experimentation in Pakistan's white-ball setup. Once again he lambasted the management for the consequences that the decision to experiment has led to.
