The eagerly awaited T20 World Cup 2024 clash between the long-standing rivals, India and Pakistan, is set to take place this Sunday.
This match promises to be a thrilling encounter, bringing together two cricketing powerhouses on a global stage. Fans from both nations and around the world are gearing up for what is expected to be an unforgettable showdown.
Mark your calendars and get ready to witness cricket at its finest as India and Pakistan face off in this highly anticipated event.
The much-awaited T20 World Cup 2024 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is set for Sunday at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York. With both teams boasting massive fan bases, the stadium is expected to be packed for this high-stakes encounter. Rohit Sharma’s squad, fresh off an eight-wicket victory over Ireland, aims to dominate Pakistan. Meanwhile, Babar Azam’s team seeks redemption after a crushing defeat against co-hosts USA. The match promises intense action as both sides vie for supremacy.
Before this highly anticipated match, Pakistan’s star bowler Shaheen Afridi had an enjoyable encounter with Indian fans in New York.
A viral video on social media captures a light-hearted moment where a 24-year-old pacer is teased by fans. Amid the playful banter, one fan humorously asks him to consider Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as friends.

“Rohit aur Virat ko apne acche dost samjho. (Consider Rohit and Virat as your good friends),” said a fan.
Apart from this, another fan hilariously asked Shaheen, “Please kal acchi bowling mat karna. (Please don’t bowl well tomorrow). This moment left everyone in splits.
In the 2021 T20 World Cup, Shaheen’s lethal bowling decimated Team India by taking the crucial wickets of Rohit, Virat, and KL Rahul. This pivotal performance led to India’s 10-wicket defeat, marking Pakistan’s sole triumph over India in T20 World Cup history.
He is now set to replicate his remarkable performance as Pakistan strives to secure their first victory in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Reflecting on the match, India captain Rohit emphasized the importance of team effort, stating, “Victory shouldn’t depend on just one or two players. Every member of the team must contribute. While certain key players will naturally have significant roles, it’s essential for everyone to give their best in any way they can.”
