The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start in a couple of days and India will start its campaign from 5 June with their first match being played against Ireland. India will be playing their second match against their arch-rivals Pakistan on 9 June at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York and a former Pakistani cricketer made a huge claim regarding India-Pakistan clash as he said that groups have decided in such a manner that India and Pakistan play two matches in the tournament.
India and Pakistan are in the same group along with Ireland, Canada and USA and while speaking on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said, “The ICC wants India vs Pakistan to have two matches in the World Cup. They have made the schedule so that the two can meet again either in the semi-final or final. The venue we will get to know in due course.”
While talking about the India-Pakistan clash, Basit Ali stated, “Now, it all depends on performance. Pakistan is a bit low on their form, while India, on the other hand, has played IPL and looks in good shape. For Pakistan to perform well, Babar must open”.
Do you agree that the ICC has put India and Pakistan in the same group because it wants two matches of India and Pakistan?
