Former champions India and Pakistan will face off on Sunday in a Twenty20 World Cup blockbuster in Dubai and the buzz around the game underlines the enduring appeal of the matchup between the sub-continent's feuding neighbours.
India captain Virat Kohli and Pakistan counterpart Babar Azam have called it just another game, but that is clearly not the case.
"I was involved in the games in 2014 and 2016. If you ask me, as a player, it was always a high-pressure game," former India player Suresh Raina wrote for the International Cricket Council website on Saturday."The fans have enjoyed this rivalry over the years and it is cricket at its best." "It may have become one-sided of late but emotions run high," Sajan, vice president of the Dubai-based Danube Group, said referring to India's 12-0 record against Pakistan in cricket World Cups.
"The clash at an ICC event attracts core and casual cricket fans as well as viewers who don't watch any other cricket." "We are super excited to bring free streaming to Pakistanis and are confident our team will play their hearts out for our country."
