As cricket lover & if you are from the sub-continent, can you imagine that a India vs Pakistan cricket match will be cancelled just because of security reasons? You are right. No it won't. So here it is. The WCT20 between the arch-rivals India & Pakistan on 19th March'2016 has been shifted from beautiful Dharamshala to the one of the greatest cricket grounds in the world - Eden Gardens.
Now as the controversy had created some days earlier with respect to this game, Saurav Ganguly took no time to get the opportunity of convincing the authorities to conduct the game at Kolkata. And as a CAB president, you should expect him to do so.
But the context is very important here. At this very ground, both the team have played 11 matches in all forms cricket where Pakistan won 5, India 1 & 5 matches ended in a draw.
Statistics on all World Cup matches speak differently. Where Pakistan team never beat India till date. And this will make Saurav Ganguly happy too. Because he knows about the Eden Gardens crowd better. There was big expectations in the Bengal domestic circuit as Pakistan was supposed to play one warm-up game against Bengal but as they came late now they will play only one warm-up game against Srilanka before going into the final tournament.
Now a lot depends on Mr. Prabir Mukherjee, the veteran fiercely proud custodian of Eden Gardens for last 40 years. But unlike earlier, he is saying that this wicket will be a perfect T20 one where 200 runs can be scored in an innings!
Let's enjoy the beautiful game of cricket. Come on It's India vs Pakistan. And all 66000 seats will be filled. And the noise will be electrifying.
