Most intense contest in world cricket
The India vs Pakistan clash is touted to be the most intense contests in the world cricket and the upcoming game in the marquee event is expected to have a full house as fans from across the globe will be glued to their screens during the high-voltage draw. While India are being considered to be the favourites in the clash, nothing can be assured of as the high-pressure game has come up with unexpected results a number of times.
After Pakistan savoured the taste of defeat against the Kiwis, the next clash against the Asian rivals on Sunday becomes a do-or-die game for the Men in Green. If they lose the match, they will be all but out of the premier event as only fortune can help them move ahead. India will be without their ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah while Pakistan are playing with Fakhar Zaman.
