The cricket rivalry between the Indian cricket team and Pakistan is always in the limelight. Given the history of both countries, fans often go to extremes. Exactly two weeks later, the Indian cricket team will take on Pakistan in an Asia Cup 2023 encounter in Sri Lanka.
The two teams do not play bilateral matches against each other. Hence, the multi-team event is the only chance cricket fans get to witness this holy competition. This time there can be three encounters between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
India and Pakistan will face each other for the first time in the group stage on 2 September. After that, if both the teams reach the finals, then there will be three encounters. Then on October 14, in the World Cup 2023, both the teams will face each other.
Meanwhile, Pakistan batsman Iftikhar Ahmed has become a victim of a fake post. In this post, he has been quoted as saying that whenever we play against India, it seems as if we are playing against street children.
Although the batsman said that he had never said such a thing. He said that I have been made aware of this statement which I have never given. In fact, no professional cricketer would make such a statement. Please stop spreading fake news and report this person for spreading hatred.
He has demanded Twitter (now X) owner Elon Musk to please ban this account as people are misusing blue ticks. Here, the fans are eagerly waiting for the match between India and Pakistan. Both countries play against each other only in global events.
The Asia Cup starting on August 31 will be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The event is being organized on a hybrid model after the BCCI refused to tour Pakistan. Because India had demanded that its matches be held at a neutral place.
