India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: Azam Khan has been pretty much made the face of Pakistan's troubles in the lead up to this tournament and in their first match shocker against USA.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: Well, do Indian fans need reminding when it comes to that night at the MCG. No seriously, this game and its analysis seems to be the only thing in Star Sports' broadcast plan when a live match is not happening and so chances are you have seen it, and THAT Kohli shot, at least five times over the last month. It was a thriller to end all thrillers though, with many stating if it is possible to just end the tournament right then after that match. Chasing a target of 160, India seemed down and out for much of their innings. Haris Rauf gave just three runs in the first four balls of the 19th over and India needed 28 to win from the last 10. Then came the aforementioned Kohli shot over the bowler's head for a six and then another over fine leg to make it 16 needed off the last over. Mohammad Nawaz was the bowler and he dismissed Hardik Pandya first ball. Dinesh Karthik got Kohli on strike next ball and then the two batters ran two off the third. And then, Nawaz, a spinner, bowled a full toss whole overstepping, Kohli hit that for a six and it was a free hit as well. Horror, horror, the next delivery went wide as well and then the batters ran three byes, with Pakistan appealing against that since they thought that hitting the stumps off a free hit delivery should make the ball dead. Karthik was run out and then the ice-cool Ravichandran Ashwin left the next ball to let it for a wide down the leg side and calmly lifted the last ball to take the single and win the match. Cue pandemonium.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: The start of this rivalry also marks the start of the journey of the Pakistan cricket team.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: The teams haven't been just thrown into the group stage randomly, the ICC takes a lot of stalk in ensuring that what they have done before the tournament means something in it. No level playing field once they have all qualified for the tournament. And so, the teams have been seeded into their group and it has been decided beforehand who the top seed or the second seed will face in the Super 8s. If the top seed or the second seed, or both for that matter, don't qualify for the Super 8s, the teams that finish in their initial seeded positions take their slot in the second group stage. Easy peasy.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: This is the first time that the tournament is using a second stage called the Super 8. The basic logic is that the teams that finish in the top two of the four initial groups qualify for a second group stage consisting of two groups of four teams each after which comes the semi-final and final. But this is the ICC an this is cricket and so nothing can be straightforward. In keeping with that basic philosophy, teams' position in the first group stage won't really determine who they face. Not always. Explaining how that works requires a separate update so stay tune.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the only players to remember being coached by Gary Kirsten while playing for India. Head coach Rahul Dravid played one year with Kirsten helming the Indian backroom staff. The South African having taken over in 2008 which was about a year before Dravid ended his illustrious career.

Kirsten had experienced a few India-Pakistan matches in his time with the Indian team and now, he is back in it as the head coach of Pakistan.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: Pakistan's opening game couldn't be more different. They were outright favourites against co-hosts and minnows USA but had to fight their way to a score of 159/7. At no point of the USA innings did it look like they were in trouble and sure enough, they managed to tie the scores at 159/3. The game went into Super Over where Mohammad Amir sent in three wides. Two of those gave USA two runs and one gave three and that helped USA to 18 runs despite hitting just one four in the over. Pakistan scored just 13 and thus did one of the greatest upsets in the history of the sport occur.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs PAK: So one-sided was India's opening game against Ireland that a few Indian pundits, never really shy of hyperbole, pronounced that as their second warm-up match. India were as clinical as ever in that game, with their bowling lineup staying on the money and their fielders just as sharp. Virat Kohli couldn't do much but Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant then helped India make light work of the 138-run target.
