IND vs PAK Today Match Prediction
India vs Pakistan Match Prediction: IND’s batting is dominated by the form of Abhishek Sharma (248 runs) and Surya Kumar Yadav, and the bowling is strengthened by Kuldeep Yadav (12 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah. Their consistent wins (5 wins in the last 5) and a 2-0 lead over Pakistan in the tournament will boost their confidence.
Pakistan’s batting lineup of Sahibzada Farhan (160 runs) and Fakhar Zaman, and bowling lineup of Shaheen Afridi (9 wickets) and Haris Rauf are effective, but their poor record against India poses a challenge.
India’s head-to-head record (8-2 in T20Is) and balanced team gives them an edge. Some analysts have rated India as a 70% chance of victory.
Based on statistics, India has a 70% chance of victory and Pakistan has a 30% chance. If India bats first and scores 160+, their chances will increase.
Pakistan needs a big innings from Farhan and early wickets from Afridi to win. It will be a close contest, but India has the upper hand.
