Tensions put aside as India, Pakistan ready for 'marquee' clash

If there is one match worth watching in this tournament, this is it. When the nations last met, in the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy, a worldwide audience of almost nearly half a billion people tuned in. This contest, far bigger in consequence, is likely to be more, and will have those from of all religions of the subcontinent - Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian and Parsi - taking note.

"It's another game for me, and for our team. For me, all the teams are very balanced and very equal. Yes, it's a huge pressure game ... because, obviously, Pakistan and India, lots of mystery behind that, but we just want to focus on our strengths, our cricket and how we can get better," he said."It's great to be part of those games, Pakistan, India, it's going to be good game. It's going to be in Manchester, lots of Pakistani, India fans are going to be there.

"The India versus Pakistan clash has historical and political significance that fuels the rivalry. When they play at a cricket World Cup, TV ratings soar and the match sells out in minutes. The promoter’s dream match-up is to have an India versus Pakistan final or semi-final."Former ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed

India wicketkeeper M.S. Dhoni has provided his own drama, having had the insignia of the Indian special forces on his gloves earlier in the tournament until an ICC crackdown. Dhoni, an honorary lieutenant colonel of the Indian territorial army, has yet to explain his actions.
