The India-Pakistan match, according to Suresh Raina, would not be normal if both teams claimed it was just another regular match because butterflies would be present.
The first Group 2 match, between archrivals India and Pakistan, is set for October 24 at the Dubai Cricket Stadium and promises to be thrilling. This tournament will serve as a showcase for the best players in the world prior to the Men’s T20 World Cup.
India has never lost a World Cup match to Pakistan, regardless of whether the match is one-day or T20. Pakistan has remained unbeaten in stadium T20s since 2016.
When it comes to the India-Pakistan series, veteran cricketer Suresh Raina says that no matter what the players say, he will have butterflies in his stomach.
Cricket is comparable, but the World Cup adds an additional layer of pressure. In the case of India-Pakistan, both teams will undoubtedly portray the game as a routine clash between two friendly nations. It will, however, be an outlier. Raina told Salaam Cricket that she was expecting “butterflies in my stomach.”
“You’re going to have a lot of work ahead of you.” The winner, however, will be determined by who can handle the most stress the most effectively. According to him, the game will be won by the team that can handle the pressure the best.
Misbah-ul-paddle Haq’s shot caught Mahendra Singh Dhoni at short fine leg in the inaugural T20 World Cup final in South Africa in 2007, and India went on to win the tournament.
It is critical that everyone is working toward the same goal. T20 cricket follows the same rules and regulations as the other formats. However, in this format, it is critical to be able to handle pressure well.
The current T20 World Cup, according to the southpaw, will come down to the dew.
“Even if there is dew in the UAE, spinners will benefit greatly.” After all, we’ve already seen how effective the Sharjah pitch was for us! Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, in Raina’s opinion, are excellent investments.
“The good news is that the weather is on its way back.” If the batter succeeds, I’ll be convinced. Chennai Super Kings scored 190 runs in the IPL championship game. In other words, you must assess the ball and play it based on its merits.
