India vs Pakistan T20 WC: Team India will reach Melbourne on this day to face Pakistan, there is a possibility of rain in MCG too

After the cancellation of the warm-up match against New Zealand, the eyes of Team India are now fixed on 'Mission Melbourne'. The Indian team was to play its second warm-up match against the Kiwis in Brisbane, but the toss could not be played due to rain throughout the day. Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will now leave for Melbourne on Thursday. However, rain has also been predicted in Melbourne and this can be bad news for the fans. Apart from India and New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan were also affected by rain. After reaching Melbourne, the Indian team will practice on Friday and Saturday and then take on Pakistan on 23 October at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

The good news for the Pakistan team is that Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the field after getting fit, while Team India will play in this match without its star bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to injury. In his place, Mohammed Shami has been included in the Team India squad. Before this great match, former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra warned the Indian batsmen against a bowler.

India defeated Australia by six runs in their first warm-up match. In that match, Mohammed Shami took four wickets in an over while bowling amazingly and played an important role in winning India.
