Iceland cricket take dig at Apex board for announcement of India vs Pakistan game at T20 WC 2024

Iceland cricket has taken a dig at Apex board for the announcement of the India vs Pakistan game at the T20 World Cup 2024. The official announcement of the apex board regarding the big tournament was out yesterday, and the schedule and the format for the same were announced. It was specially announced that the match between India and Pakistan is set to take place on the 6th of June.

Following the announcement from the Apex board regarding the same, there has been a mixed reaction from the fans. While the fans from the teams involving India and Pakistan have been happy for the match, the neutral fans do not seem to be so happy with the hype provided for the match. Iceland Cricket, who is known for witty posts on cricket, reacted to the same by taking to X.

“How much money does the ICC require not to put India and Pakistan in the same World Cup group?” wrote Iceland Cricket on X. The tweet about Iceland cricket has now gone viral on X and the fans have mixed opinions about the same. While some believe that the match between the two sides must be hyped up given the revenue on offer, others feel that the hype is not worth it.

India vs Pakistan over the years

India vs Pakistan is considered to be the biggest cricket rivalry. It is not just a rivalry between the two cricket teams. Everyone from the common people to the PMs of the countries gets involved in it. However, the sheen of the rivalry seems to be lost in the last few years, given the lack of competitive games between Pakistan and India.

The only game which was close at the highest level between the two teams in recent times was the T20 WC 2022 game. India won the thrilling game by 4 wickets at Melbourne, thanks to Virat Kohli’s epic knock. However, no other game has been engaging enough between the two sides in other instances, particularly at the highest level in big tournaments.
