This showdown of the two close neighbors will be hosted in New York's Nassau Country Ground, which the ICC has admitted is in a poor state of repair, so fans are predicting a low-scoring game for both teams.
India has already played at the NCG after beating Ireland in its first game of the tournament. It's the highest-rated T20 team in the world according to the ICC, and is a favorite to win the tournament. However Pakistan is (usually) no easy opponent.
Seeded at #6, Pakistan is a strong team generally. However in a massive upset the team lost to USA in its first game of the tournament, which can't do much for its morale.
As two of the best cricket teams in the world, this group stage T20 match is set to be one of the most tense of the early stages of the tournament. So here's how to watch India vs Pakistan.
