India enter as favourites—reigning T20 World Champions, strong batting line‑up, solid recent performance. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
Pakistan have an opportunity: strong pace attack, potential to surprise if top‑order clicks. But challenges in lack of recent consistency. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
