Matches between India and Pakistan always draw immense attention, and it’s not surprising that there’s anticipation surrounding their clash at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Basit Ali’s claim about the ICC scheduling matches to potentially have India and Pakistan face off twice in the tournament certainly adds to the excitement.
However, it’s essential to take such claims with a grain of salt until official confirmation from the ICC or other credible sources. Scheduling in major tournaments like these involves various logistical considerations, and while it’s not impossible for such matchups to be strategically planned, it’s not always guaranteed either. Fans will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting these matches, and if Basit Ali’s claim turns out to be true, it would only add to the spectacle of the tournament.
The ICC has reportedly scheduled the T20 World Cup with the intention of India and Pakistan facing off twice, potentially in the semi-final or final. Basit Ali suggests Pakistan’s success could hinge on Babar Azam opening. In Group A, alongside Ireland, Canada, and the USA, India begins their campaign against Ireland on June 5, while Pakistan faces the USA a day later.
