India will be confident heading into the blockbuster match after a comprehensive win over Ireland in their tournament opener. Indian bowlers had a brilliant outing against Ireland and bowled them out for a mere 96. Later, a 52 by Rohit Sharma and some lusty blows from Rishabh Pant ensured an easy win for the team.
Pakistan on the other hand suffered a shambolic defeat to the USA in the last game. Despite going into the game as heavy favourites, Pakistan failed to play their best cricket. Pakistan's batting crumbled against the USA and the team could only score 159 in 20 overs, courtesy of Shadab Khan’s 40, however, the bowlers failed to defend the target.
