India-Pakistan will come face-to-face in T20 World Cup, both the teams are in the same group
There is good news for those who enjoy the India-Pakistan cricket matches. In the T20 World Cup to be held in UAE in October-November this year, India and Pakistan have been placed in the same group of Super-12. Both these teams are in Group 2. Teams from New Zealand and Afghanistan are also in this group.
At the same time, England, Australia, South Africa and West Indies have been kept in Group-1 of Super-12. There will be 6-6 teams in each group. The other teams in the group will be decided by the results of the World Cup qualifier rounds. The World Cup will be held from October 17 to November 14. A total of 45 matches will be played including the qualifying round. Out of this, 12 matches will be played in the Qualifier round and 30 matches will be played in the Super-12 round. Apart from this, 2 semi-finals and 1 final match will be played.
The India-Pakistan match is one of the most watched matches in any ICC tournament. In the 6 T20 World Cup held so far, only twice (2009 and 2010) there was no match between India and Pakistan. In the 2007 World Cup, there were two matches including the final between the two teams. At the same time, in 2012, both the teams met in the Super-8 round. In 2014 and 2016, India and Pakistan played in the group stage.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
