The Chat Room: Let’s Talk Cricket — India vs Pakistan
India vs Pakistan is always a much-anticipated event. After Mohali, India and Pakistan will meet in Dhaka on March 18 to play against each other. And this match is all the more important for India, as it will decide their fate in the Asia Cup.
What has been interesting so far in this tournament is the performance of both teams in their matches with Bangladesh, against whom both have struggled. But play however they may against other teams, when it comes to the two sides facing each other, it’s a different story altogether. While India boasts a sturdy batting line-up, Pakistan has a solid bowling attack.
Join us as we discuss tomorrow’s all-important game at 7pm today .
Here is what we will be discussing:
What are both teams’ strengths and weaknesses — especially when up against one another?
Do you think Pakistan should play six bowlers (three pacers and three spinners) against India like they did against Sri Lanka? What should the team combination be for tomorrow?
Would you recommend any team changes for India?
Whenever India and Pakistan face each other, the level of anticipation and the hype knows no bounds. A year on from Mohali, India and Pakistan face each other once again. What do you feel is the level of anticipation this time around?
How much of the game is a battle of wits, when it comes to these two countries playing against one another?
Who are the players on whom everyone will be relying on to lead their respective countries to victory?
What does either team have to get right in order to stand a chance of winning against the other?
