India-Pakistan encounters are the most sought-after events in the world of sports. Starting with the Olympic hockey rivalry in 1948, a year after Partition of undivided India, the two traditional rivals have been hawking media headlines since then.
Be it a race between Milkha Singh and Khalid or the Olympic Hockey final, excitement mounts, tempers run high and each move is followed minutely by spectators and supporters on either side.
This strong sporting rivalry will be the main attraction of the T20 World Cup Cricket Tournament to be organized jointly by the US and West Indies cricket boards between June.2 and June.29.
The first climax of this cricketing bonanza will be on June.9 when India and Pakistan play their group match in New York.
Besides Ireland, two other teams in the pool are both Canada and the US. Both these North American teams will have fairly well representation of players of South Asian origin.
Incidentally, Canada will be making a debut in this prestigious event. All eyes of the strong South Asian community in North America, especially in and around New York, is already superbly excited to watch their favorite stars in action on American soil.
It may be pertinent to mention that last year when India played host to the ODI World Cup, the country raced to a comfortable win at massive Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Now, the focus has shifted to the shortest version of cricket on American soil.
Let us hope cricket triumphs!
