Pakistanis are unpredictable team, you can expect anything from them. Pakistan only have a chance if they bat first and give huge target.

Let's see how the bookies see this match and whom they think is the favorites for this match.



Clearly, it seems that it is India who seems the favorite but do not forget these odds can change quickly if we see good performances by the Pakistan team. Since you said that the Pakistan team is unpredictable. hence anything can be expected in this match.

India is much more better side then Pakistan in this World Cup and not to forget the psychological advantage they have of 7-0. Pakistan so far are not able to trouble Indian bowlers much, after 16 over Pakistan score stand at 84/2. Current forecast is 277 runs and that will be a piece of cake for India. If Pakistan need to win this game they much score over 325 runs.

Pakistan team is not able to collect more runs at the crease at the moment. Because India is doing very well in terms of bowling performance as Pakistan team is not getting any boundary except taking single runs. Because there is no way that four sixes are going towards because at least the Pakistan team is under severe pressure. Because even though the wicket has been saved so far, the run rate is 5.6. Pakistan team can't win in any way if they keep collecting runs like this, because if they want to win then they have to present a big score to Indian team. Because this small score can easily be completed by Indian team because Indian team is very strong in this season.

Now, we are witnessing something Pakistan is known for, a middle-order collapse. After Babar's wicket, Pakistan lost 5 wickets for 16 runs. From nowhere, Pakistan is finding a way to bowled out below par at a flat wicket. Good tight bowling by the Indian bowlers; at one stage, Pakistan was looking for a target above 300, and now it seems that 200 will be a tough ask. Only a miracle can save Pakistan from losing this match.

The game is very much over for Pakistan. They were nicely going till 30th over when skipper Babar got out. Good captaincy from Rohit Sharma, he introduced Muhammad Siraj when Babar and Rizwan were looking dangerous. Siraj did the job for skipper by breaking the partnership and after that no Pakistani batsmen bothered to score runs. Now the last pair is on the crease and it seems difficult that Pakistan will be able to complete there 50 overs quota.

It looks like they gave away the match after Rizwan's dismissal. No doubt Indian bowlers were bowling the correct line and length. Still, I felt that Pakistani batters gave up the hope of scoring runs. There were lose shots and lose approach by them. 192 runs is not a target that India expected from Pakistan. If the Pakistani bowling can bowl well and keep up the pressure on the Indian batters then there is hope for them.

[3kpk3]

Pakistan underperforming against India as usual. Only hardcore fans of their team expected them to lift the cup. They probably created a new record by losing 8 wickets for just 36 runs. Horrendous batting by most of their side.

Clearly, it seems that it is India who seems the favorite but do not forget these odds can change quickly if we see good performances by the Pakistan team. Since you said that the Pakistan team is unpredictable. hence anything can be expected in this match.

Lol. You couldn't be more wrong here. 1.4 for India was actually a value bet since they are decimating Pakistan currently.

When was the last time Pakistan saw such a poor performance against India? Where everyone is very eager to watch the India Pakistan match, if the India Pakistan match is like this then the cricket world will enjoy watching the game of any other team. Pakistan was in a good position but from that position they could not change their position the only change was their deterioration. In the first innings where Pakistan collected only 191 runs, India scored 86 runs in just 11 overs. Those who were eagerly sitting in front of the TV or mobile screen to watch the India Pakistan match may have taken their eyes off the TV screen or mobile screen at this moment because the result of this game is now clear in front of everyone. We want a competitive match, I don't know if it will be the 2023 World Cup at all.

Pakistan had good opening, Imam-ul-Haq was batting good and lost the wicket unwantedly. Soon after the dismissal Babar Azam and Rizwan developed good partnership. They should have stood wickets for little more time. It was the time India is getting close to have pressure. By the time Babar Azam lost the wicket, and India started using it and things went in favour of India. 191 runs isn't enough to defend against a team like India.

India had started the chase good, and they were in need of some early wickets. Shubman Gill and Kohli lost the Wickets in the powerplay. Rohit shows his performance and India is already in comfortable position scoring 100 in 14 overs with Rohit at 52* and Shreyas Iyer at 15* runs.

India vs Pakistan time! Both teams won their first two matches though India seems to be better when compared to Pakistan, but no one can say for sure who will win in such high stakes encounters.

I am expecting this one to be another one-sided affair though in India's favor primarily due to their superior bowling attack. Excited!

India and Pakistan gonna fight for the third win. Till date India and Pakistan have met 7 times in World Cup and India is the one to win all the matches. Whether the history continues or Pakistan gonna end it with a win. I don't find India team's bowling to be superior, maybe based on the pitch scenario could change. Even in the last encounter in the Asia Cup it was the batting dominance that stood superior and India won by a big margin of 228 runs.

As per the condition of both the teams we can be sure that India team will be quite ahead for the batting and bowling line-up. Betting odds are also giving the same indication. India is giving odds of 1.46 and 2.98 in favor of Pakistan. India's current few batsmen are doing well, if Hardik Pandya shines in today's match then India can do better. Pakistan had a good innings against Sri Lanka, Mohammad Rizwan showed a very professional performance but he was suffering from injury which was reflected on the field of play but still he tried and ensured the win for the team. However, there is no news get yet about his position in today's match. If he plays then they can gift something good today but that is difficult as the opposition is India.

In my view this is the best team that India has announced for the World Cup. If the players who play regularly in the Indian XI are compared to any other major team, I will still put the Indian XI ahead of other teams. India's Virat Kohli and Pakistan's Babar Azam will be in the spotlight. Virat Kohli has contributed a lot in every match that India has won against Pakistan. Babar Azam has not done well in the last two matches so there will be expectations from him to at least play a good innings against India. As India and Pakistan are two arch rivals, we expect a tough fight between the two teams. Whichever team wins we know we can enjoy a high voltage match.

Everyone was waiting for this exciting match India against Pakistan who love cricket matches. In this match, Pakistan entire team performence was very rough in batting side. In starting of match, both batsman players of Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were playing great and their partnership going fantastic. Baber Azam got out by Mohammad Siraj after completing half century in 58 balls. After his went out, constantly losing their wickets one by one. Then Muhammad Rizwan got out at 49 runs so close to half century but unfortunately his wicket fall down by Jasprit Bumrah of India strong bowler. There batting was overed and they made only 191 targets for India. Indian team easily defend this low target before 25 overs I think.

In the India vs Pakistan match, Pakistan scored 191 runs in the first innings and lost all the wickets. India are currently batting as Rohit Sharma continues his brilliant batting performance to meet the target set by Pakistan. Rohit Sharma's batting performance in the match can confirm that he will score a century today. Right now Rohit Sharma has collected 65 runs off 47 balls, his batting performance is excellent. Today, India put up a great performance against Pakistan on their home soil, and scored enough runs to win the match. Today the bowling performance of Pakistan team is not very good, for which they are not able to put pressure on India, but today India will easily take the match to them. Today's match is expected to be won by India against Pakistan by a huge margin, currently Pakistan needs to collect 74 runs to meet the target given by Pakistan.

The match between India and Pakistan was expected to be full of rivalry. Because no match is organized between them except for big events like World Cup. But nowadays it is no longer full of competition. Pakistan performed poorly in the Asia Cup, but performed well in the two matches of the World Cup. I was hoping to see a rivalry match with India today. The batting pitch was helpful but Pakistan's batsmen could not do well, being bowled out for 191 runs. Rizwan and Babar Azam both played well, apart from that neither batting performed well. Batting to win, India have so far scored 156 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 21.4 overs. Rohit Sharma played brilliantly in today's match getting out with 86 off 63 balls. Just 36 more runs needed to win. Hope India will win before 27 overs.

Pakistani middle order really bull shit the entire momentum Carrey on by baber and Rizwan, I didn't expect Pakistani middle order will be exposed in such way. It's really disappointing moments for any fan cricketing fan because we want a tough competition and victory with a narrow margin for any deserving team but unfortunately paksitan unable to done his job properly, one things every Pakistani fan should understand that paksitan batting order is litterely trash rather than baber and Rizwan and if you has to win the match then entire team contribution is really necessary.
Anyway paksitan should immediately take action against shadab because he leak too much compared to scoring runs through his bat so deserving player should take opportunity which will lead paksitan spin factory.

[Vaskiy]

The dominance of India continues in the world cup as well as against team Pakistan in World Cup history. With the win India records 8-0 win the World Cup Matches. Much expected match went as a one sided match as India wins the match by 7 wickets and 117 balls left. Shreyas Iyer ended the match with style reaching his half century. In today's match India bowlers were really good and the batting side as usual did the best. The performance from Rohit Sharma is appreciable and the much needed one while chasing targets. Pakistan bowlers tried the best, but with such a score it is really difficult for them. Another thing, more fielding mistakes happened and Pakistan needs to work on it. Based on the Net Runrate India have reached the top position on the points table.

Since 1992, India have met Pakistan 7 times in the World Cup but Pakistan has never defeated India to win. Pakistan could not beat India in today's match when India faced Pakistan. Pakistan lost the toss and decided to bat first in today's match. Batting first, Pakistan scored 191 runs in 42.5 overs losing all wickets. India went into bat with a target of 192 runs and easily defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in today's match. In this exciting match I thought the game would be very exciting. But today's match was not exciting.

India won by 7 wickets. India chase down the target 192 runs in loss of 3 wickets in just 30.3 Overs. India Captain Rohit Sharma brilliant 86-run inning and Shreyas Iyer fifty have 53 runs unbeaten in just 63 runs easy win for India against Pakistan in Ahmedabad. Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling performance is outstanding picked 2 wickets by giving 36 runs in 6 overs. An incredible performance by the Indian bowlers, creating pressure and ultimately leading to the Pakistan from 152 runs in loss of 2 wickets to 191 runs all out. The player of the match is Jasprit Bumrah for his amazing bowling performance picked 2 wickets by giving 19 runs in 7 Overs.

India won the match by Seven wickets. The 8 times Pakistan and India met in the ODI World Cup, and the 8 times always India was the winner.

Anyway, let’s talk about today’s match when Pakistan's score was 155 losing two wickets, then Babar Azam lost wicket so all teams started to lose wickets, and in 191 Pakistan all teams were out. The man of the match is Jasprit Bumrah, but I think that Muhammad Siraj should be a man of the match because he took 2 wickets of big players Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique but Jasprit Bumrah also did very well owling so I think that Jasprit Bumrah and Muhammad Siraj, they both are the man of the match.

It was already predicted that India will defeat Pakistan easily, because the Indian team looks very strong in both batting and bowling. Pakistan bowling attack is not strong enough to defend a small score, but today's batting proved to be very weak. No Pakistani player has shown the passion that Pakistani players always show against India. There is a severe shortage of good fast bowlers and spinners in Pakistan's bowling.

The ease with which India chased down the target of 192 runs in 30 overs suggests that Pakistan's bowling attack will not be able to defend the 300-run target. I think Rohit Sharma's performance was also very good, and he played a brilliant innings of 86 off 63 balls. If seen in this sense, Rohit Sharma also deserves Man of the Match.

Very disappointing cricket played by the Pakistani players not only in fielding but also they played worst cricket in their bowling. I have noticed one thing, for every Team in this World Cup if they are playing against India, they play the worst cricket ever, I don't know if Team India is too strong that the opponent fell in front of it or if they are doing something else. So, I didn't even like the matches of the Team which was playing against India.
I was feeling very excited to see today's match but the match was not that good to be watched. Although India played well and went to the top of the points table with all winning their matches, which created an impact on other teams as well and opened the way to the World Cup Finals.

[3kpk3]

There is a severe shortage of good fast bowlers and spinners in Pakistan's bowling.

They have plenty of great fast bowlers like Afridi, Rauf though they sorely missed Naseem who would have been really helpful. However, they have been lacking quality spinners from a long time now.

You are acting like India already won the World Cup. Everyone expected them to be the favorites to win the cup, but there are other favorites too like New Zealand, England and South Africa.

Winning critical matches like the semi-finals and finals are far more important than these matches in comparison.

First thing I want to say that Good job Indian team they do not break their winning streak today they already won three matches of World Cup and now let's see how will they continue this streak in upcoming matches from other teams. Beginning of Pakistan's batting, some players showes actual struggle when Babar dismissed from pitch after scoring 50 runs for Pakistan then next batter players dismissed from the field after scoring few runs like 2, 4 and 6 runs. Their bowling and fielding was also very bad. Right now, India team is in top position by winning all past matches they were played including this one. Sharma performance was outstanding not only in today's match rather in past matches. Their bowling attacking was too strong in this match. I hope they perform well in next match verses Bangladesh team.

[JunkieMiner]

There will be a match between England vs Afghanistan today in which England has a chance of 89% of winning the match while Afghanistan has a low chance of just 11%. England has a good cricket Team, they are playing superbly in this World Cup. Dawid Malan from the side of England is also in form Batsman and he can score some big runs and has some big partnerships with his other fellow Jonny Bairstow. They both are good openers for them which are in form also.
