India Vs Pakistan World T20 match today

Highlights of previous T20 world cup India vs Pakistan

This is the match which will be equally interesting as the final of this twenty-twenty world cup tournament. Though there were little showers in the Eden Gardens in the morning, it is expected that we will have a full match. India have won all the previous encounters with Pakistan in the world cup but at the same time they have never defeated Pakistan at this venue. This mean a new history will be created either it will be first time India defeating Pakistan at Eden Gardens OR it's first victory in world cup for Pakistan against India.

Eden garden pitch is good for batting and team batting first have won most of the matches as dew factor comes to play and it makes batting a little difficult. Thus chasing is always a best option here. But can't say what both captains (Dhoni & Afridi) think about this. Thus it'd be interesting to see the toss as well.

3:21 pm: Pakistan to bat first, as they won the toss and elected to bat first. Current score is Pakistan 36/1 in 3.1 overs.

4:04 pm - Pakistan team has got the start they needed. All they need to do is finish the innings well. Given they way they are batting a 180 to 200 runs score is easy to reach. And this would be a very hard target for Bangladesh team to achieve, given the bowling strength of the Pakistan team.

4:18 pm - Pakistan lost the second wicket. Current score Pakistan 134/2 in 13.4 overs.

4:35 pm  - Pakistan lost the third wicket but this isn't making any impact on the scoring rates. They are clsoe to 200 runs now. New batsmen Akmal is also gone. Score 175/4 in 17.5 overs. Remaining 13 balls this Pakistan team need to play carefully not to lose wickets trying to hit boundaries.

4:48 pm - Bangladesh need 202 runs to win and it's very difficult target for them. They have 4 over of Afridi who don't give easy runs. 

World T20 2016 Match Today - India Vs New Zealand

Now when the first round of the ICC world T20 is over and some lucky team managed to join other teams to the super 10 group, the ICC World T20 now has really begun. Now you can see fully crowded stadiums and more heat on and off the ground.

Today is the first match of super 10 and this match is to be played between the host team India and New Zealand. .The match will be played at Nagpur and it starts from 7:30 pm IST (+5:30 GMT). This match is from the team of Group 2. There are 5 team each in group 1 and group 2.  If we take a quick look at the squads then the Indian T20 team looks far stronger than the current New Zealand team. The NZ team is quite inexperienced however there bowling can be the biggest surprise for the strong Indian batting line. Also the IPL exposure is a big plus for team India, making them the favorites not only for today's match but also for the T20 world cup.

We will be posting live updates of the match today here, so just keep refreshing the page ;)
