IND vs PAK: The biggest rivalry of cricket is back as team India locks horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in the 16th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday, October 23 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.
Pakistan has played an aggressive brand of cricket in the recent past and they will look to keep their winning momentum intact against the Men in Blue. On the batting front, they will highly rely on their openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
However, it is their bowling lineup that has been making headlines for quite some time now. Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf are the living nightmares for any batters facing them and it will not be any different for the Blues, who will be confronting their wrath on Sunday.

Coming to India, the Rohit Sharma-led side will be heading into the showpiece event without their premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Their batting unit, however, has looked in an ominous touch with the likes of KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, and Virat Kohli firing on all cylinders.
It will be a litmus test for their young bowling attack, which comprises the likes of Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh playing their first World Cup for India. The onus, however, will be on the senior pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar while Hardik Pandya will chip in with a couple of overs if required.
All in all, with two best T20 teams, having some of the best T20 players in the world taking the field against each other, an exhilarating and power-packed game beckons at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 16 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2022.

Pitch Report – Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
It’s a tailor-made surface for the batters to score runs easily. There will also be some bounce and carry for the bowlers in the initial stages of the game. However, as the game progresses, spinners will come into the picture.
The bowlers, especially quick ones need to be precise with their lines and lengths if they have to pick wickets here. Batting first should be an ideal choice here but teams opting to bowl first after winning the toss shouldn’t be an astonishing pick.
