Here we are! The day you’ve all been waiting for. The day when the entire nation promises to come to a standstill. The day you will probably remember to tell your kids and grandkids about. The day you had your eyes on ever since the CWC schedule was announced. The ultimate showdown for which hotel tariffs and flight tickets have soared through the roof. For which people are booking hospital beds. The grand spectacle – INDIA VS PAKISTAN at the WORLD CUP! Nothing… and we mean nothing comes even close.
Both teams head into the contest on the back of two wins in two games in the ongoing World Cup so far. India beat Australia in their opener before crushing Afghanistan in their second game. Pakistan, meanwhile, survived against Netherlands before avenging their Asia Cup loss in a thriller of a chase against Sri Lanka. India will be having the edge in terms of head-to-head rivalry, given their resounding 7-0 score line against Pakistan in ODI World Cups, two of which happened on Indian soil – by 39 runs in the quarterfinal in 1996 and 29 runs in semifinal in 2011. Pakistan have however won 19 of their 30 ODI matches against India in India. But these numbers and past records are less likely to have any impact Saturday’s blockbuster clash, although the visitors will be determined to script their first against India.
Heading into the game, India have been handed a delightful news over Shubman Gill’s recovery from dengue and his “99 per cent” chance of availability for the Pakistan game. If Gill takes over his opening slot, Ishan Kishan will have to sit out. India will also fret over adding an extra batting opting in Ashwin or a fast bowler in Mohammed Shami.
Add to that the glamour quotient that has been added. In cricket, nothing is bigger than the game, unless it’s India vs Pakistan. We saw that in the Asia Cup last month, where a reserved day was installed just for this clash and now the World Cup – which did not have an opening ceremony but will have the razzmatazz of Bollywood with artists such as Shankar Mahadevan, Arijit Singh and more gracing the granddaddy of them all.
