The India Vs Pakistan match held in Network’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium showed Team India registering a successful play, beating Pakistan by six runs. As the team is preparing to face the USA in its third match, it might not be easy for India as the USA are also in top form. They thrashed Canada by chasing down 195 and scored 159 in the second innings against Pakistan before beating the Men in Green in Super Over.
