Pakistan and India will play their first T20 World Cup 2022 match tomorrow, October 23, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, with all spectator tickets sold out months ago.
This will be the third meeting between the two sides this year, with India winning by five wickets against Pakistan in the 2022 Asia Cup group stage and the Men in Green defeating Rohit Sharma’s side by the same margin in the Super 4s stage.
Earlier today, India captain Rohit Sharma stated that his team is aware of Pakistan’s strong bowling unit, but he also praised his batting unit, saying, “Our batting is also very experienced.”
During a press conference ahead of the high-octane clash at Melbourne Cricket Ground, India captain Virat Kohli said that when two such competitors meet, it will be a tremendous encounter.
In response to a question about Team India’s preparation and strategy against the Men in Green, Rohit stated, “We know Pakistan’s bowling will challenge us, but our batters will be ready.”
The Super 12 stages of the marquee tournament began today at Sydney Cricket Ground, where New Zealand defeated the host team, Australia, by 89 runs in the first match.
