T20 World Cup: Pakistan will be under a lot of pressure, India superior side - Gautam Gambhir

T20 World Cup: Former India captain Gautam Gambhir said both India and Pakistan will be happy to get their big-ticket meeting out of the way early at the T20 tournament. The two arch-rivals are scheduled to meet on October 24 in Dubai.

Former India captain Gautam Gambhir said not India but Pakistan will be under pressure when the two arch-rivals meet in the much-anticipated T20 World Cup encounter on October 24 in Dubai. The ICC on Tuesday announced the fixtures for the T20 World Cup and the highly-awaited clash between the arch-rivals caught the attention of the cricket world. India and Pakistan have not met in a bilateral series since 2013 and their fixtures at ICC events have become chartbusters. At the T20 World Cup stage, India and Pakistan have met 5 times with India winning all of them so far. India last played Pakistan at the 50-over World Cup in England in 2019 and comfortably clinched a win, avenging their defeat at the 2017 Champions Trophy final.
