The Great Asian Rivalry – India And Pakistan: Clashes Over The Years
What Is Fantasy Cricket?
Fantasy cricket is a type of fantasy sport. A team of players is digitally chosen in the online game of Fantasy Cricket. Points are awarded based on how well each player performs in actual matches once they have been selected. A player must earn the most points possible in a fantasy cricket league and reach the leaderboard on the fantasy cricket app in order to win a competition.
The bowling and batting orders determine the outcome of a fantasy cricket match. This is said to be the aspect of cricket strategy that is most up for debate. A slight alteration in the sequence can significantly impact the outcome of the game.
How Does Fantasy Cricket Work?
By choosing 11 players and 3 substitutes from the player pool, you may play fantasy cricket. There are various guidelines that must be observed when choosing the squad in some fantasy cricket apps and websites. While there are no financial restrictions and no restrictions on the number of bowlers, batsmen, and all-rounders that may be chosen on certain fantasy cricket websites.
India-Pakistan Historical Rivalry
Here's a trip down memory lane of India vs Pakistan face-offs in the T20 World Cups so far:
2007 World T20 – South Africa
India vs Pakistan – Group Stage
It was the first time Pakistan and India faced off in a T20 match, let alone at a World Cup. India scored 141/9 in 20 overs while batting first thanks to Robin Uthappa's 50 and new skipper MS Dhoni's 33. 4/18 was taken by Mohammed Asif. In response, Pakistan had a terrible start, losing their top four players with only 47 runs scored. The match ended in a draw, a first in T20 World Cup history, despite Misbah-ul-35-ball Haq's 53 that brought Pakistan closer to victory. A bowl-out then occurred. As a result of precise wicket-taking by Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, and Robin Uthappa and wide misses by Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul, and Shahid Afridi, India received all three points.
India vs Pakistan – Final
How could anyone ever forget that momentous encounter on September 24 in Johannesburg? In the first edition's final, India advanced to 157/5 in 20 overs thanks to Gautam Gambhir's stunning 75 to start the innings. Pakistan again struggled to get going in this match, losing six wickets for just 77 runs. Misbah was once more relied upon by the Shoaib Malik-led side. With 13 needed off the last over, Joginder Sharma applied pressure by bowling a wide first-up followed by a dot ball in the next. With only six runs needed from four balls, Misbah-ul-Haq smacked a stunning six off the second real ball. Misbah attempted to get over a short fine leg with a scoop but instead gave S Sreesanth a straightforward catch. Pakistan suffered a 5-run defeat.
2014 World T20 – Bangladesh
India vs Pakistan – Super 10
India played in its first Super 10 game in Group 2. After choosing to field first, the Indian bowlers performed admirably, limiting Pakistan to 130/7 in 20 overs. Pakistan's Umar Akmal led all scorers with 33. Among the wickets were Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja. In response, India defeated Bangladesh in Dhaka by nine balls with the help of Shikhar Dhawan (30), Virat Kohli (36 not out), and Suresh Raina (35 not out).
2012 World T20 – Sri Lanka
India vs Pakistan – Super 8
India entered this game coming off a devastating nine-wicket loss to Australia in the Super 8 round. When Pakistan batted first, Lakshmipathy Balaji got 3/22 and they were all out for 128. Virat Kohli's magnificent 61-ball 78, which featured eight fours and two sixes, helped India win the match on his alone. India, like Pakistan and Australia, ended the Super Eight stage with four points from three matches, although they were eliminated from the competition due to an inferior net run rate.
2016 World T20 – India
India vs Pakistan – Super 10
India needed to defeat Pakistan in order to advance from Super 10 Group B after being defeated by New Zealand in the opening game. At the crowded Eden Gardens, which had 61,337 spectators, including legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Imran Khan, Indian bowlers performed admirably, as usual, limiting Pakistan to 118/5. With only 23 runs on the board in response, the hosts were in trouble after losing Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Suresh Raina. India won the match, though, thanks to a 61-run fourth-wicket stand between Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh. India prevailed by six wickets thanks to Kohli's unbeaten 37-ball 55 at the end of the innings.
India will begin their campaign with a game against Pakistan for the first time since the 2007 tournament. Under MS Dhoni's guidance, India won the competition fourteen years ago. Can they succeed once more with Dhoni as a guide?
