India vs Pakistan – A High-Pressure Game

As the excitement builds for the India-Pakistan clash, Pakistan is under pressure to keep its title hopes alive. They suffered a tough 60-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening game, making this match crucial for their survival in the tournament.

India, on the other hand, started their campaign in style with a dominant six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. However, Virat Kohli had a tough time on the tricky Dubai pitch. He struggled to get going and managed just 22 runs off 38 balls before getting out to Soumya Sarkar off leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.

Despite this slow start, Kohli is known for handling pressure, especially against Pakistan. His track record against India’s arch-rival speaks for itself. In 16 One Day Internationals (ODIs) against Pakistan, he has scored 678 runs at an impressive average of 52.15. This includes three centuries and two half-centuries.

With Kohli’s past performances and India’s solid start in the tournament, all eyes will be on the star batter to deliver once again in this high-stakes encounter.
