It will be decided on Sunday, 18th March, 2012 when India and Pakistan renew their cricket rivalry after almost a year’s break when they take part in the Asia Cup one-day tournament starting in Dhaka on Sunday!
Both the countries will stand before thousands in the stadium, with over millions watching their every move on television. Each team will have to prove themselves this time. Cricket, in this case, transcends physical fitness, on-field performances and statistics. It becomes a game of mental robustness. Pakistan has defeated the strong teams and the weaker ones, they have performed well with the bat and the ball, and we witnessed outstanding effort in the field from them.
While on the other hand India performed very well in last matches of CB series so as against Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2012. Although they lost to Bangladesh in a thrilling contest but will have to perform against Pakistan.
both the Teams should tread boldly as they march into the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. Players should keep their heads up, focus on positivity and enjoy the game. They should revel in the achievement of reaching where they have up till now, and the rest will follow through.
One thing common amongst both the countries, their fans don't want a cup when the teams are facing each other, even accept the lost against weaker teams but can't accept the loss against rivals. No matter if their teams play outstanding cricket, they will receive negative comments in shape of loss and that's why the match between both the countries have importance amongst the cricket lovers.
It will be an epic battle of nerves and the side that is better able to deal with the pressure that comes with playing such a high profile encounter, will surely come out on top.
No other Sporting rivalry is Greater than Pakistan India which is fueled by nationalism, bloodshed and a shared history. The tension is palpable in the air when these two great cricketing nations go head to head, fierce competitiveness, even hatred, is evident whenever India and Pakistan play a cricket Match.
When these two Asian giants play in Sub-Continent, the excitement is beyond words. Though it is not a war which is fought on the border with bombs and guns but the ambiance during Indo-Pak clash is no less as 11 players play to make their country proud. People talk of the Ashes as a big event; it really don't come close to what a Pakistan, India match.
