Pakistan are coming to face India right after their worst defeat of the T20 World Cups ever - against co-hosts United States Of America (USA). On the other hand, Rohit Sharma-led Indian side won their first match against Ireland comfortably at the same venue.
Having played their solo warm-up and first group-stage match in New York, the Indian team have an edge over Pakistan having first-hand experience of the surface and wickets. But, the conditions might favour Pakistan and their bowling attack.
There was a slight delay due to drizzle before the toss. The covers were put on the outfield and the pitch. However, the rain stopped, and the toss took place afterwards.
