New Delhi: As Pakistan defeated Hong Kong with a 155-run margin, India will face their arch-rivals again in the Super 4 stage. With a lot of rivalry and friendship brewing simultaneously, the game is again on the trend. Last time in the Asia Cup, both the teams faced each other on August 28 and India won the game in a thrilling chase.
The India-Pakistan encounters are always fun to watch, and with twice-in-a-week clashes, it is just a treat for cricket fans. The two T20I heavyweights will face each other on September 4 in Dubai. Netizens are taking on social media with their views on the game, and many memes are pouring on the internet.

In the last game, Pakistan scored 147 with Mohammad Rizwan hitting 43(42). With wickets falling at regular intervals, Haris Rauf’s 13* off 7 balls and Shahnawaz Dahani’s 16 off 6 helped Pakistan post a fighting total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya destroyed the batting lineup with the ball as they picked four and three wickets respectively. Naseem Shah started well for Pakistan by dismissing KL Rahul for a golden duck. After a 50-run stand between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both of them were dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja’s 35 off 29 and Pandya’s 33* off 17 aided India to victory.
For India to win against Pakistan, they need to counter the Naseem Shah threat while delivering with the ball. The short ball was a weakness for Pakistan in the first game and with Babar and Fakhar not at their best, Bhuvaneshwar and Pandya will look to exploit it. It will be a thrilling encounter again.
