India VS Pakistan
DHAKA: While India will be taking on Sri Lanka in their first practice
match at the Sher-E-Bangla National
Stadium in Mirpur on Monday, their
arch-rivals Pakistan are scheduled to face New Zealand a bit earlier in the day
at the same venue. However, there were hardly any questions asked about those
games when players of both teams faced the media on Saturday.
All the queries were about the opening encounter of the Super 10 stage. The
Friday Blockbuster — India vs Pakistan.
Pakistan have won just one of their five T20 clashes against India and they
have never beaten India in eight clashes in the World Cup (5 in ODIS and 3 in
T20s). India will be looking to maintain that record while Pakistan, arguably a
better T20 side, will be looking to break that jinx. "We never look at
that record and neither do we look at that game as a big one. It is just hyped
up by all the people around it," feels India's star batsman Virat Kohli.
Tell him about India's spotless record against Pakistan and he says, 'We will
not go out there to keep that record intact. We will go and play good cricket
and try not to get too desperate.'
