India vs Pakistan match is always considered as the biggest clash in the cricketing world and rising viewership charts and demands of ticket is evident to all this. Tickets for the 26,000 capacity cricket ground were sold out months ago within 48 hours of their release. With just one day left to the match, fans from both the sides are super excited and they both want their teams to win the game at any cost.
Old Trafford ground where the two teams will take on with each other have witnessed several big tournaments but none as the 1999 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan, which the former won by 47 runs.
Pakistan has not been so good in the tournament so far as they have lost 2 matches and have won one game against England while the match against Sri Lanka was abandoned due to bad weather. But the way the team has performed against England and Mohammad Amir's brilliant performance against Australia, India needs to get an extra alert.
India, on the other hand, looks good as they have not lost any game so far. The last game at Trent Bridge was abandoned due to rain. Shikhar Dhawan who gave a perfect start to the team and scored 117 runs against Australia will miss the match and this could be the biggest test of India's opening order in the crucial match.
