First, the political drama that led to the shift of the venue and now rains, much to the dismay of fans across the world, the India-Pakistan match continues to face hurdles. Due to security issues, the crucial ICC World T20 2016 match was shifted to Kolkata from Dharamsala. Then there were uncertainty over Pakistan’s participation in the tournament. Now the weather is playing a spoilsport. Fingers are crossed as we hope the match will be played even if it is shortened by few overs. Live Streaming, ICC World T20 Super 10 stage: India vs Pakistan at Kolkata
There is a reason for which Ravichandran Ashwin calls India-Pakistan matches “bigger than the Ashes.” Once again, the event is set to one of the most viewed sporting contests until weather acts as a hurdle.
India may be touted as favourites in the tournament but they did not get off to a winning start. New Zealand beat them by 47 runs and Pakistan on the other hand got off to a winning start as they downed Bangladesh in Kolkata. On paper, India do wear a stronger look because of their batting and superior spin armoury but Pakistan have the ability to throw surprises. Pakistan have had a poor run in recent times and they failed to make it to the final of Asia Cup. However, they got a good start to the tournament as they beat Bangladesh at the same venue.
Not only Pakistan have lost all four matches against India in World T20 but also they have lost all their 10 World Cup matches (both T20 and ODIs). Ahead of the crucial clash between the arch-rivals, we present you the best tweets from the cyberspace.
