🏏ICC T20I Men's WC 2024: Match 19: IND vs PAK, NY @ 8:00 PM IST🏏- Page 8

Rain has got heavier now. Groundsmen have covered the entire square now.

As for India, their game against Ireland was about running the engines in. While they cruised to a win, it gave them a chance to assess conditions at New York first-hand - a luxury that Pakistan did not have. India looked well oiled, first in their warm-up fixture against Bangladesh and then in their first group-game against Ireland. India also revealed a batting order that not many expected with Rohit, Kohli and Pant manning the top-three and they're expected to stick to that formula for as long as it works. While the middle-order didn't get much to do, the trio of Surya, Dube and Hardik are likely going to be the next three that follow. What India might change, however, is their bowling combination. Despite India never usually changing a winning combination, there will be a temptation to bring in Kuldeep Yadav, likely in place of Axar Patel, because of his proven track-record against Pakistan. While Axar adds to India's batting depth - crucial on tacky surfaces like New York, India might just opt to have the combination of Jadeja and Kuldeep. Expect no changes to the pace trio of Bumrah, Arshdeep and Siraj.

What could, however, be a dampner (quite literally) is the weather. While the forecast looks clear, it appears to be currently raining. The square is under covers and it looks extremely overcast and gloomy out there. Vijay Tagore, our man at the venue, confirms that it is indeed drizzling.
