India and Pakistan to meet again in the World Cup 2015

| No comment
The cricket fans of India and Pakistan have always been
the most enthusiastic ones in among cricketing nations
Cricket is a game of gentlemen, it is played, watched and analyzed with decency and grace. But when it comes to the arch rivals India and Pakistan, you already know it gets serious. It's not a matter of Cricket match when these two countries collide, it's a war, a war of emotions and sheer aggression among the players and the people of these two nations. India and Pakistan have had a history of great encounters and the most dramatic finishes in Cricket.

The ICC has released the groupings and fixtures for the Cricket World Cup 2015 which is to take place from 14th February to 29th of March 2015. The 14 teams are divided into two pools A and B with England, Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Afghanistan are placed in pool A, whereas Pakistan and India are in pool B along with South Africa, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and UAE. Each team will play one match each with all the others in their respective pool in the group stage. Top four teams from each pool will then go on to qualify for the quarter finals where they'll play in the knockout stage and the final four winning teams will go to the semi-finals which will decide the two teams for the World Cup final.

India will take on Pakistan on 15th of February at Adelaide Oval. This will be the first match of both the teams in the World Cup 2015 which makes it even more interesting. India will be counting on their star players like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Ravindra Jadeja whereas Pakistan will b eying a victory from their young guns such as the likes of Sohaib Maqsood, Sharjeel Khan. Pakistan will be looking to take advantage with their one of the best bowling attacks of the World featuring Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul and Junaid Khan while India will look to put Pakistan under pressure with their batting line-up that is arguably the world's best attack.

Last time, Pakistan and India collided in a thrilling and one of the greatest World Cup matches of history in the 2011 World Cup in the semi final when India beat Pakistan by 29 runs and went on to win the World Cup with the help of some all-roiund brilliance from Yuvraj Singh.

India and Pakistan have had a history of on-field altercations
and sledging during matches.
Pakistan haven't been able to beat India at any of the World Cups so far. Each time, these two teams met at World Cup , India had the better of Pakistan. India and Pakistan have competed at the World Cup stages six times and all of the 6 matches were won by India.

Pakistan will look to break their shackles on 15th of February and write a win against their traditional rivals India at World Cup arena, while India will be keen to carry on their epic streak of winning against Pakistan in the World Cups. But one thing is for sure, this will be one heck of a contest to watch.
