IND vs PAK: Pitch Report
The bowlers have largely had a muted impact in this tournament, with batters taking centre stage in most matches. However, the stage is set for a more balanced contest at the Narendra Modi Stadium for the IND vs PAK match. Early in the innings, pace bowlers can look forward to some extra swing and bounce, while the middle overs could be pivotal for spinners. But batsmen won't be left behind; they'll get their fair share of opportunities to score, provided they play judiciously. Historical figures from 27 ODIs at this venue show a neck-to-neck competition: 14 wins for teams batting first compared to 13 for teams chasing. An average first-innings score of 243 underscores the relatively batter-friendly conditions in the early part of the game. However, with scores ranging from a high of 365 to a low of 85, it's evident that the pitch tends to become more challenging for batting as the game progresses. It wouldn't be a surprise if the toss-winning captain chooses to bat first, aiming to capitalize on the more conducive batting conditions before bowlers come into their own.
IND vs PAK: Head-To-Head ODI Record
India and Pakistan have locked horns in ODIs 134 times. Pakistan has had the upper hand with 73 victories to their name, while India has secured 56 wins. There have been five instances where an IND vs PAK ODIs have ended inconclusively. When it comes to the ICC ODI World Cup showdowns, the two teams have met 7 times. Impressively, India boasts a perfect record, winning all 7 matches, leaving Pakistan yet to register a win in World Cup encounters against their arch-rivals.
