Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan, former cricket Yuvraj Singh said the team that keeps the emotions back will win the high-octane clash on Sunday.

Rohit Sharma's men will enter the clash after defeating Ireland in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener, whereas Babar Azam and Co. faced a humiliating defeat against the T20 World Cup debutants USA.

Speaking in a video shared on the social media account of ICC, Yuvraj said that everyone is moved by the emotions of the India vs Pakistan match.

Yuvraj Singh also said that he is looking forward to the match-up between Mohammad Amir and Rohit Sharma in the most awaited T20 World Cup 2024 clash between the Asian Giants.

"I think we're all moved by the emotion of the India-Pakistan game because we have a lot of history. Pakistan have got some really fiery bowlers. I think we got a stronger batting side. I'm definitely looking at Mohammad Amir vs Rohit because he likes to get the ball full and then Shaheen Afridi against Virat. I think these are going to be some big matchups. But at the end of the day, you have to use your mind. You have to play according to the situation and I feel the team that plays according to the situation and keeps the emotion back will definitely win this game," Yuvraj said.

India skipper Rohit Sharma is currently the third-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup with 1015 runs after appearing in 40 matches. Meanwhile, in the T20 World Cup, Kohli scored 308 runs in five matches at an average of 308.00 and a strike rate of 132.75, with four half-centuries and best score of 82'.
