Afghanistan Vs Pakistan – A New Rivals
A clash against Pakistan at this time, though, arguably has as deep and complex a subtext as an India-Pakistan game (of course without the on-field history), but for all that has divided these two nations, they stand side-by-side in one aspect this tournament. Both are unbeaten and both are in the top two of Group 2. Pakistan crushed India, then took down New Zealand while Afghanistan have routed Scotland with a massive net run-rate that might end up being crucial later on. [Courtesy line from espncricinfo.com]
Registration for Semi-finals T20 World Cup
A win here for either side would be a huge step towards the final four of the tournament. But while both sides have a point to prove, and two to gain, the bragging rights, though, will be as much a driving factor.
