The El Classico equivalent of international cricket is just a few nights away and the cricket fraternity is all geared up to witness yet another exciting clash of the season with India taking on Pakistan in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. While the two arch-rivals recently met twice at the Asia Cup 2022, both sides will now face the biggest stage of all in the shortest format.
Earlier, India clinched the league group stage game against Men in Green at the Asia Cup but Pakistan emerged victorious in the Super-4 stage. The upcoming clash will relive the memories of the T20 World Cup 2021, where the Babar Azam-led side crushed India by 10 wickets to end their losing streak against India across the T20 and ODI World Cups.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Md. Rizwan stitched an unbeaten match-winning partnership to guide their side to a historic victory in that competition. Rohit Sharma-led side will now look to settle the score in their tournament opener on October 23.
While the clash between top-two quality sides is already gaining a lot of hype among cricket fans and tickets for the game is reportedly sold out, weather forecast might put some obstacle to the smooth proceedings of India vs Pakistan clash.
According to weather prediction, heavy rainfall is expected on October 23 in Melbourne with 76 per cent humidity.
The weather forecast has been gaining a lot of traction from the cricket fans of both countries as the screenshot of the same has been circulating on social media.
