Weekend “blockbuster event” tomorrow – India vs Pakistan
The match on Saturday has been described as the “blockbuster event” of the tournament 132,000-capacity stadium is expected to be full.
Both sides have made confident starts in the tournament, winning their first two matches. Two won their games convincingly.
But India v Pakistan is one competition where past performances don’t guarantee a win. It’s the ultimate test of skill, preparedness, strategy and above everything else, nerves.
With millions of passionate fans who see the match as a war, it comes down to the players’ ability to keep the noise out and treat it like any other game.
Both teams have players who can do this to put up a performance that matches the monumental occasion.
India will start as firm favourites because of their uncanny record of winning all seven World Cup matches against Pakistan.
But the visitors are unpredictable.
Pakistan entered the Asia Cup in September as the world’s top one-day team but crashed out in the semi-finals. But when it’s their day, they can dismantle any side.
Match will be held on 14th Saturday at 2pm in Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad
