USA vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2024, Live Updates: Pakistan will be going up against the United States of America in their opening Group A match of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Thursday at the Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas. The Babar Azam-led side, who lost the four-match T20I series against England 2-1, will be aiming for a brilliant start to its World Cup campaign.
Ahead of India's heavyweight clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup, former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has heaped praise on Virat Kohli. The latter has been reborn over the last 12 months, first finishing as the highest run-scorer in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and then winning the Orange Cap in IPL 2024. Kohli has incorporated more aggression into his game, making him indispensable even from India's T20I XI. Hafeez explained why Kohli has been able to maintain his lofty standards for so long.
The Indian cricket team began their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a comprehensive victory over Ireland in New York on Wednesday. Ireland were bundled out for just 96 following a brilliant bowling display from the India pacers and skipper Rohit Sharma slammed a brilliant half-century to make short of the target. India looked in control of the match from the very start and at one point, a section of the crowd starting chanting for Rohit to give Kohli an over to bowl. In a video going viral on social media, the crowd can be heard chanting ‘Kohli ko bowling do (Bring on Kohli for bowling)' during the match.
Ireland head coach Heinrich Malan criticised the pitch for their T20 World Cup Group A match against India, stating that a good playing surface is crucial, but the recent games at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium haven't met that standard. Malan's comments come after India won the match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium by eight wickets after they bowled Ireland out for just 96, with the pitch having excessive swing and variable bounce, which was uneven on various occasions in the game.
USA vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 Live Streaming: USA will be squaring off against Pakistan in their next Group A match of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Thursday in Dallas. Co-hosts USA will be coming to this clash after opening their campaign with a thumping seven-wicket victory over Canada. The likes of Aaron Jones and Andries Gaus played key roles in USA's win. On the other hand, this will be Pakistan's first game of the tournament and the Babar Azam-led side will aim for redemption after T20I series loss against England.
India batting coach Vikram Rathour dropped a major hint on the possibility of Rishabh Pant retaining the number three spot in the batting line-up. India's batting set-up for their T20 World Cup opener against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium raised a lot of eyebrows. India decided to resort away from their usual opening duo of skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Stalwart batter Virat Kohli came out to open with the experienced captain. With Kohli promoted to the opening slot, it was expected that Suryakumar Yadav would come in to bat next. However, Rishabh Pant came out to bat in the number three spot and struck the winning runs for the Men in Blue.
Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya is winning over the hearts of fans all over again. Pandya's all-round game is hugely important for Team India's balance at the 2024 T20 World Cup. But performances aside, little moments on the field are also helping Hardik win back support. On Wednesday, during India's first T20 World Cup game against Ireland, Pandya was seen giving a hug to Virat Kohli, as the two shared smiles. Fans on the internet were quick to lap up the wholesome moment. After Arshdeep Singh dismissed Paul Stirling in the first ball of the third over, Pandya is seen going up to Kohli during the celebrations to give him a hug, before the two share smiles and laughter.
Despite growing fears over the nature of pitches at New York for the T20 World Cup, there have been no such plans over shifting the remaining matches out of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The untested drop-in pitches at New York, which has favoured bowlers excessively, have come under heavy scrutiny after Sri Lanka were bowled out for 77 by South Africa, followed by India bundling out Ireland for 96.
