India vs Pakistan Match Prediction & Preview


India and Pakistan are set to clash heads on Sunday when they battle it out at the Dubai International Stadium.

The Indians will look to give Ravi Shastri the best farewell possible, as he leaves his position as India’s head coach after this tournament. They have the best odds to win the tournament according to Sportsbet, at $3.

Virat Kohli’s side enters their campaign in arguably the best form of any side, cruising past two top-quality nations. They were tested against England but comfortably chased down 188 runs. Ishan Kishan starred with the bat making 70 runs before retiring hurt.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s recent Twenty20 form has been inconsistent. A struggling sign is that they’ve shown the quality to beat similar quality nations but struggle to cause an upset against the best.

However, that’s not to say they don’t compete and it’s not about to change. In their last warm-up match, they took South Africa to the final ball of the match, proving their quality against top opposition.

The vast majority of the Indian players will be used to the playing conditions because of their time playing at these grounds in the IPL. I believe India should be able to cruise past Pakistan on Sunday.
