T20 WC: Batting Powerplay Could Be Crucial In Deciding Winner Of India-Pakistan Clash, Says Finch
T20 World Cup India: Maximising the batting Powerplay will be crucial to determining the winner of the high-stakes India-Pakistan clash in the Men’s T20 World Cup in Colombo, said former Australia captain Aaron Finch. The last time these two teams met, India beat Pakistan thrice, including in the final, to win the Asia Cup in the UAE.
Defending champions India are currently Group A toppers and ahead of Pakistan on Net Run Rate. They arrive in Colombo after beating Namibia by 93 runs, where Ishan Kishan’s 61 helped them collect 86 runs in Power-play -- the highest total in the six-over phase of this competition.
"Yes, particularly in Sri Lanka, where the wickets are a bit slower, they're turning more. You have to maximise those first six overs. So, we saw Ishan and Sanju get off to a flyer the other night. Australia tried it today, and they were on the back foot early because they lost wickets. So, it's a real risk-reward.
