Venue – R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
The biggest cricket rivalry India vs Pakistan will take place at R Premadasa Stadium in the 20th match of T20 World Cup 2012.
Pakistan who are high on confidence with their 2 wicket win in their last match will be hoping to beat India today and improve their record in ICC events where as for India it a do or die match as they have lost their first Super eight match against Australia.
Team India needs to forget the thrashing they received at the hands of Australia and focus on the arch rivals. With the likes of Dhoni, Raina, Yuvraj and Rohit Sharma, Indian batting looks very good on paper but these need to convert in this match as otherwise it will be all over for Team India.
Pakistan on the other hand is riding on the good form of its openers and middle order. The biggest strength of Pakistan, the swing bowling is yet to be seen and team Pakistan will be hoping that the bowlers also come good in the match so that they can move an inch closer to fulfill the dream to win the World Cup.
This match promises to be a real entertainer as two of the biggest cricket rivals are taking on each other and that too at a very crucial junction of T20 World Cup.
