It’s yet another humdinger – archrivals India and Pakistan clash in the 2014 T20 World Cup Group game today. Pakistan has not beaten India in any of the previous 3 meetings in the T20 World Cup meetings and this could be their chance going into the key clash. What do the Men In Blue have in store for Mohammad Hafeez and co.? Let’s take a look at some of the key clashes that could even decide the result of the match:
Shahid Afridi vs. Ravichandran Ashwin
Oh boy, R Ashwin would be geared for this battle alright! After those 2 sixes in the recently held Asia Cup, Afridi would be holding his head high. But, the Chennai spinner would want another go at the Pakistani veteran and this clash can be the one to watch out for!
MS Dhoni vs. Mohammad Hafeez
The battle of the skippers – the ‘Captain Cool’ returns to the side after an injury layoff as he will look to turn the tide against Hafeez’s in-form Pakistan side. The Men In Green are surely up for the game and know that their chances of winning are high since Dhoni’s men are not in rich vein of form.
Mohammad Shami vs. Umar Akmal
Indian pace department may be under the flak off-late but Mohammad Shami has emerged as one of the shining knights. The West Bengal pacer has been Team India’s in-form bowler overseas and his dual with Pakistan’s devastating T20 player, Umar Akmal promises to be a riveting contest.
Saeed Ajmal vs. Virat Kohli
Pakistan’s most devastating weapon – Saeed Ajmal, on his day could torment any top order batsman. The spinner, who has ‘doosra’ at his disposal, is Team India’s greatest threat going into this key game. But Team India can rely on their star batsman, Virat Kohli to ward off any threats posed by Ajmal. The fans of both the countries are in for a spectacle when these two face-off!
There you go, Pakistan and India can really turn on the heat once they take the field for this T20 game. If Pakistan are ‘firm favourites’ for this clash, Team India require a win here and if that comes against their arch-nemesis, what a morale booster that could be!
