Important announcement:

The Group B in the second round is being referred to as the group of death due to the presence of title contenders namely India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand. On any given day, the teams can beat each other. India and Australia look very formidable in their group as many players of both countries play alongside each other in IPL. Pakistan is an unpredictable side and can spring huge surprises due to the bowling attack.
Sri Lanka, West Indies and South Africa will be involved in an enthralling contest to proceed to the next stage. The PROTEAS with players such as RABADA and ABOTT will be a force to reckon with and any side should have to be at their top of the game to beat them fair and square.
India vs Pakistan
India and Pakistan are in the same group and both arc rivals would be continuing their tussle at DHARAMSALA on 19th March. Both teams are meeting after the world cup in Australia. In the last T20 encounter in Dhaka, India beat Pakistan by 7 wickets and more than one over to spare. VIRAT KOHLI and ROHIT SHARMA would go hard at the Pakistani Bowlers led by MOHAMMAD IMRAN, JUAID KHAN and ZULFIKAR BABUR. In a nutshell, it would be a mouth watering contest to watch.
