India and Pakistan, two superpowers of Asia, entering the field in the high-voltage match of the World Cup. The match will be held at 8:30 pm Bangladesh time. But the problem is that there have been concerns about this match being played on the field.
The weather forecast for New York on Sunday (June 9) says there is a good chance of rain. There is a 51 percent chance of rain at 11 a.m. New York local time, half an hour after the start of the match. Which has the same probability till 4 pm.
That is, it may rain during this period. In that case the temperature will also drop. There is also a possibility of wind. Naturally, the question is what will happen if it rains in the India-Pakistan match. In this case, the match may be postponed if it rains.
If the rain does not stop or the game cannot be played, then the match may be declared abandoned. Because no reserve day has been kept in the group stage match. And then both teams will get equal one point each.
In that case, Pakistan may be in danger. Because, they have no option to win this match against India as they lost against USA in the first match.
But in this match, India is quite ahead of Pakistan. At least the statistics of India-Pakistan matches in recent times reveals that.

Pakistan to play in World Cup final, Shahid Afridi predicted
Babar Azam lost the series against New Zealand at home series, Though they won the series against Ireland but lost the first match. Pakistan has completed the World Cup preparations after losing to England.
However, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi is very confident about playing the final of the ongoing World Cup.
While speaking on the PCB Podcast on Tuesday (June 4), Afridi predicted that the team could make it to the final of the tournament.
He said that the whole team should support Babar, especially the seniors. When the captain takes a decision, he should take it fearlessly. I am confident that Pakistan will play the final match of the World Cup.
Babar's team will play their first match against hosts USA on June 7. Pakistan's last group stage matches will be against arch-rivals India on June 9, Canada on June 12 and Ireland on June 16.
What India is getting from ICC to beat Pakistan?
India has always been the favorite to play in ICC tournaments. This year's T20 World Cup is no exception. Experienced players like Rohit-Kohli and young cricketers like Suryakumar-Jaiswal will go to the field to win the trophy.
Meanwhile, India has more facilities than any other team in ICC events. Where a large number of cricket fans of India play a special role. Because, the ICC earns crores of rupees by them. So the ICC has a different importance towards India matches.
There has been a storm of criticism about the character of this stadium made with a drop-in pitch. Because, Sri Lanka and South Africa struggled to play the first match. So many discussions have started about the India-Pakistan match.
However, it is more likely to beat Pakistan by a big margin in that match.
Because, the ICC has put a lot of work ahead. Pakistan will play for the first time with India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, but before that, India will play two matches at the ground. So India will understand the character well on the field. Where Pakistan will face completely a backward position.
Shakib regains top spot in ICC T20I all-rounder rankings from Hasaranga
Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga replaced Shakib Al Hasan at the top of the ICC T20 all-rounder rankings.
However, he could not hold this place for long. Tiger posterboy has returned by defeating the Sri Lankan all-rounder within a week.
The ICC released the rankings update on Wednesday (June 5). Where Hasaranga has been downgraded. Shakib has regained his throne.
Hasaranga was ineffective in their first match against South Africa in the World Cup on Monday (June 3). With the ball, he took 2 wickets for 22 runs in 3.2 overs, but returned to the pavilion with a total of 2 runs with the bat. Thus, He lost 6 rating points.
Mohammad Nabi, Sikandar Raza and Marcus Stoinis are the other three players in the top five T20 all-rounders.
On the other hand, there is no change in the top rankings of batters and bowlers. India's Suryakumar Yadav, England's Phil Salt and Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan are the top three batsmen.
England's Adil Rashid, Sri Lanka's Hasaranga and India's Axar Patel are in the top three bowlers.
Bangladesh face off Sri Lanka to kick-start T20 World Cup
Despite a fragile batting line up, Bangladesh hope to make a winning start to the T20 World Cup when they take on Sri Lanka at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas on Saturday. The match starts at 6.30 AM Bangladesh time.
Bangladesh though looked high on confidence, their performance ahead of the T20 World Cup was extremely disappointing. The series defeat to associate nation USA sparked a massive uproar back in the country and if it is not enough, they surrendered to India meekly in the practice game.
Overall they looked not a team to move to the next round in the T20 World Cup. However Sri Lanka's below par performance in their opening game against South Africa suddenly gave Bangladesh a ray of hope.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 77 in that match as they failed to cope with the slower nature of the pitch. Bangladesh's main problem lies in their batting but their bowling continued to prosper, giving the opponent batters massive headache. And the slower nature of the pitch further instilled confidence in Bangladesh's tent.
The Dallas and New York's drop in pitch had already given a resemblance of Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium pitch. Bangladesh basically will rely on the pitch to hunt down Sri Lanka which looks to be morally down following the crushing defeat in the first match.
But Bangladesh need to rewrite the history. Bangladesh's journey in T20 World Cups had started with a bang in 2007 when they grabbed a convincing win over the West Indies in their opening match of the tournament in South Africa.
However that win against West Indies remains Bangladesh's only victory over a higher-ranked team in the tournament so far. In the last T20 World Cup in Australia, they notched up three victories, highest ever in a single tournament but all of those victories came against lower ranked side.
Bangladesh played 16 T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka and won five while lost 11. Amongst the top-ranked team, Bangladesh secured highest number of victories against Sri Lanka. That should be another source of confidence for them.
"We are not thinking about what has happened before. We know how capable we are, we have to be brave and execute our plans," Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said.
Bangladesh were drawn in Group D which involved teams like South Africa, Nepal and Netherlands apart from Sri Lanka. Bangladesh need to beat at least a top-ranked team between Sri Lanka and South Africa if they want to move to Super 8.
While Shanto urged to be bold in the approach, veteran batter Mahmudullah Riyad believes a good start to the tournament will be a boost for the team.
"Everything relies on how we start the tournament. We need to have a good start. I believe if we make a good start, we'll go long way," he said.
Sri Lanka meanwhile will be in some pressure, knowing that if they can't beat Bangladesh, they would have to rely on many ifs and buts.
Sri Lanka's captain Wanindu Hasaranga is confident that his team will overcome the pressure to beat Bangladesh in their most important game.
Bangladesh might be bolstered by the return of fast bowler Taskin Ahmed who missed series against USA and practice matches due to his side strain injury. But at the same time, they lost their left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam who sustained an injury during his bowling hand in the practice game against
India.
Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Taskin Ahmed, Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Travelling reserves: Afif Hossain, Hasan Mahmud.
Sri Lanka squad: Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Dushmantha Chameera, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Dilshan Madushanka.

India began well, defeating Ireland by eight wickets after rolling their opponents for 96 on a tricky and much-talked-about New York pitch, before reaching their low target in 13 overs thanks to Rohit Sharma's fifty and Rishabh Pant's match-winning reverse scoop.
however, opened up with a shock Super Over defeat to co-hosts USA, with Babar Azam's men unable to chase the 19 runs they required in overtime after the teams had each made 159 across their initial 20 overs in Dallas.
Babar gave a frank assessment afterwards, saying, 'We are not playing well, in fielding, bowling and batting.'
India are the bookies' favourites at odds of around 2/5, not just because of how the teams' opening matches went in this event but also because of their immense strength in depth and the fact they have won six of their seven completed matches against Pakistan across all T20 World Cups, including during the previous tournament in Australia in 2022.
