IND vs PAK & SCO vs OMA: T20 World Cup 2024 team news
India news
India began their T20 World Cup campaign with a comfortable win against Ireland on a New York pitch that has attracted controversy. Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant copped blows during the match, but both will play against Pakistan at the same venue. India’s net run rate boost (+3.065) from the Ireland match earned them a comfortable cushion that should enable them to go into the Pakistan game without the additional pressure of qualiifcation scenarios.
Pakistan news
Pakistan were stunned by hosts USA in their tournament opener. Since the USA also beat Canada, Pakistan find themselves in a position where the India match is a must-win for them. A now-fit Imad Wasim is likely to return for Azam Khan.
Scotland news
A washout against England and two points against Namibia have helped Scotland emerge as a forerunner for a Super Eights spot. However, they need to pick up two points against Oman to stay ahead of England in the hunt.
Oman news
Having lost both matches, Oman are as good as eliminated from the Super Eights race. Expect them to make adjustments to counter those early collapses they suffered from against Namibia and Australia.

IND vs PAK & SCO vs OMA: Prediction for today’s T20 World Cup matches
IND vs PAK
India have historically dominated the rivalry at the T20 World Cup (6-1) as well as in all T20Is (9-3). Pakistan’s form (5-10 in 2024) is not in their favour, either, but expect them to make a game out of this contest in this fickle format. Their fast bowlers will play a significant role.
SCO vs OMA
The Scotland openers impressed against England before rain played spoilsport, but their batting unit barely broke a sweat in pursuit of 156 against Namibia. Expect them to beat an underperforming Oman.
