Both the previous Indo-Pak ties were in the inaugural World T20 in 2007 and India crossed over the finish line by a matter of chance.
Indians prevailed in the first through a ‘bowl-out’ after the two sides had tied at the same score. In the final, Pakistan were just a stroke away from victory when Misbah-ul Haq’s scoop off Joginder Sharma landed in short fine’s hands.
Pakistan will determined to settle the score for they might not get another opportunity to get even with the Indians unless both sides make it to the finals this time also.
