India vs Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2009

After a long gap of more than 14 months, we will see two arch rivals India and Pakistan face to face in international cricket. The group A match of ICC Champions trophy scheduled on 26th September is certainly one of the most awaited matches this year for cricket fans. With no hope of bilateral series for at least 2 years, India vs Pakistan matches will now be rare and these type of tournaments are only the hope of seeing them together.

India and Pakistan last played in Asia cup in June 2008. After Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's visit to India was canceled. So, this match is of great importance for every cricket fan. India - Pakistan matches are different from other cricket matches. Either its Ashes or India vs Australia, no match can surpass the excitement of India vs Pakistan.

I hope that the Champions trophy match will be a very close encounter. Either India wins or Pakistan, the match should not be one sided. It should be really exciting and thrilling. The 2007 World Twenty20 final is one of the most exciting matches I have ever seen and I feel it had every taste which India-Pakistan match is expected to have.
