    • Pakistan are the minnows of professional International events right now. The true best teams are Australia, India, England, South Africa, New Zealand (these teams consistently feature in the finals of all major ICC events- Test Championship, 50 over WC, 20 over WC, Champions Trophy). Then there are teams like West Indies, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe- who pack a punch and probably would take a while to consistently win against the best ones. Then we have Ireland, Bangladesh, Scotland and Netherlands. Pakistan is their equivalent and have lost to all teams mentioned before, which the top tier teams haven’t. So why are they glorified? Media frenzy (radical islamic-left connection) and overseas pakistan community have contributed to make the actual team larger than what they currently are. Hope that helps!

  1. Let’s talk about the so called World Cup rivalry.
    In ODI India is winning 8-0
    In t20 I India is winning 7-1
    How is this a rivalry when a team thrashes you 15-1 in a World Cups .

    • Lol!!! The prices started from 300 USD and almost 90% of them was bought by brokers which was resold 8-15 times more….so Nassau County didn’t make more than 20 mil.. including the vip prices of 10k and the premium seats of 3k

    • That’s why they say little knowledge is a dangerous thing because of Gyaani’s like this guy on the internet.
      Total capacity of the stadium: 34,000
      Assuming all the tickets were sold at exorbitant price of $2500 each even then revenue comes out to be 85 million.
      To disappoint this guy, not all the tickets are actually “SOLD”.
      ICC gives away most of the tickets to such matches to its sponsors. Like in this case “Meta”.

      Also, as someone has already stated, not all the tickets were listed for $2500, it’s the brokers who made money out of this match.

  2. #AllEyesOnReasi..Pak backed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba funded TRF has carried out ghastly terror attack on bus carrying innocent hindu pilgrims, All while we were busy seeing this match.

    • India should ban all sports, events and meetings with Pakistan. All Pakistanis know why India ban Pakistani players from IPL after Bombay attacks, still pretends they do not know.

    • Must be Indian terorsit PM, he’s known to do fake attack like Pulwama. Wasn’t Modi banned on terrorism charges to the country where this game took place? He ordered killn of 3000 innocent civilians in Gujrat

    • And no western media is talking about it . Everyone will talk about what North Korea does who don’t do anything but no one talks about terrorist attacks on Hindus by Pakistan.

    • Everyone will talk about condition of Muslims in India which is far better than any other Muslim country but they don’t talk about What’s happening with Hindus in India and outside.

  3. As a Pakistani, we accept this is not a rivalry anymore. India is playing modern cricket while Pakistan is still stuck in 2007. They are far ahead, Pakistan team is now a minnow who could beat a bigger team on their good day but usually you can only expect them to lose.

  4. Doesn’t make sense recently few terrorist from Pakistan entered the J&K area of India and killed almost everyone in a pilgrimage bus. Playing sports with Pakistan is like we don’t bother about our citizen and soldiers.

    • Rivalry is also because India has been carrying out terrorism in IOK (Indian Occupied Kashmir) and all inhumane atrocities and Indian terrorism of Kashmirirs and in Pakistani soil of 75 years is all documented by UN and Human Rights organizations. Things would be much more peaceful if India had made peace when Brits divided the country, but they illegally occupied a major region, IOK is known as the higest militarizied region of the world… When you need a million armymen on a region, it’s obviously to keep a “forceful” hold

    • ​@@-k5703 also, before the Islamists came to India, people from four non-islamic religions lived peacefully in Kashmir. Islam didn’t even exist at that time. Today, there is only Islam in Kashmir and no peace. People have been driven out of their land by islamists who have occupied that land illegally. Kashmir belongs to India.

  5. Not a single word about the nine pilgrims who were killed in Kashmir?
    Are the Indians celebrating the cricket win instead of mourning the loss of nine Indian lives?
