IND vs PAK ICC T20 World Cup 2021: India and Pakistan on Sunday renew their hostilities on the cricket field again in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, with both sides promising to have more feisty relationship neighbors.

India vs Pakistan ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Preview: The two teams last met in the group stages of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, with India defeating old rivals to maintain their undefeated streak in the World Cup.

India will cross swords with arch-rivals Pakistan in the first match of their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 campaign on Sunday, October 24 in the much-awaited Super 12 stage competition between the two sides.

Any fight between the two teams is a high-tension game, with both the players carrying the burden of their respective country's hopes on their shoulders.

Both teams come into the match with good practice under their belts, each having played two practice matches. Pakistan defeated West Indies by seven wickets in their first match and lost to South Africa on the last ball in the second. Indy, on the other hand, won both their practice matches by beating England and Australia. The Indian players were part of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which recently concluded in the United Arab Emirates, giving the Men in Blue an added advantage.

Fakhar Zaman was the top scorer for Pakistan with 98 runs, while KL Rahul topped India's scoring charts with 90. Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi took four wickets in his two matches, while Mohammed Shami was one of the bowlers for India with three wickets in his only matching.

Both sides are full of talented short-format players who can single-handedly change the game. India and Pakistan are currently ranked second and third respectively in the ICC's men's T20I rankings, with the two separated very little.

Pakistan will also rely on in-form skipper Babar Azam, while Indian skipper Virat Kohli is struggling for runs in the Team India jersey despite performing well for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. India, along with Jasprit Bumrah and Shami, have perhaps the deadliest bowling attack in cricket, while Pakistan, a historically strong bowling side, would like to equalize their neighbors with the ball.

The two sides last met each other during the 2019 World Cup in Manchester, where the men in blue defeated their neighbors by 89 runs via the DLS method.

Talking about the face-to-face record, India has beaten Pakistan in all five encounters in the T20I summit clash.

The first T20 WC match between the two teams resulted in India's victory in a bowl-out competition in 2007. Both the outfits also faced each other in the title clash of the same edition, which the Indian side led by MS Dhoni claimed in a thriller.
