India vs Pakistan LIVE!

The 2024 T20 World Cup steps up a notch today as one of the biggest matches in world sport takes centre stage in New York. Pakistan head into this mammoth Group A showdown with their fiercest rivals desperately needing to bounce back from their stunning Super Over defeat by tournament co-hosts the United States in Dallas on Thursday, a momentous result that went down as one of the biggest upsets in cricket history.

Babar Azam’s side completely and utterly unravelled in shocking fashion that day and will have to be much improved here to compete against India after the favourites began their own campaign with a dominant eight-wicket demolition of Ireland on Wednesday. Captain Rohit Sharma is ready to play after a couple of injury scares suffered this week, while Pakistan also have all-rounder Imad Wasim available following a rib issue.

The pitch for today’s game at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Long Island provides something of an unwelcome subplot, having been heavily criticised and even labelled as “dangerous” following India’s emphatic win over Ireland.

Pakistan team news: Imad Wasim back available

Pakistan have received a fitness boost of their own for this afternoon’s high-profile clash.

All-rounder Imad Wasim has been passed fit to play against India, having missed the shock Super Over defeat by the USA with a suspected rib injury.

Such an issue also saw Imad miss the final game of Pakistan’s warm-up series against England last week.

However, the 35-year-old – who reversed his retirement from international cricket in March – is now available again, per South African head coach Gary Kirsten.

Imad should come back into the Pakistan lineup this afternoon at the expense of Azam Khan.

India team news: Rohit Sharma fit after injury scares

Influential captain Rohit Sharma is fit to play for India today after suffering a couple of different injury scares this week.

He was initially forced to retire hurt on 52 during India’s easy chase against Ireland on Wednesday, having been hit on the upper arm by a bouncer from Josh Little.

Veteran opener Sharma was then struck on the thumb when batting against throwdown specialist Nuwan Seneviratne in the nets at Cantiague Park, reportedly leading to a complaint being submitted by the Official Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the condition of their practice pitches.

However, India’s skipper is ready to feature as usual this afternoon.
