Preview of India and Pakistan triology
When India and Pakistan take to cricket field on Sunday, the stakes could not get any higher as Asia will have a new champion. India will look to defend the crown, while Pakistan will try and upset the defending champions and avoid getting beaten for the thrid time in the competition.
The buildup to the match has never been more dramatic as this one. Both teams have filed case with ICC over players conducrt in the last two matches. A complaint was filed against SKY for his remarks on Pahalgam attack and not shaking hands with Pakistan skipper Salman Agha. BCCI on the other hand filed a complaint against Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan for the gestures during the recent India vs Pakistan match on the Super 4 stage.
While SKY have pleaded not guilty to his comments, the news about any sanction of Rauf and Farhan is yet to be made
