The age-old rivalry of India and Pakistan is all set to be revived on the 22 yards amid the ongoing T20 World Cup series and the teams are set to lock horns yet again on June 9, this Sunday.
While the 'Men in Blue' are rejoicing their eight-wicket victory over Ireland in their opening game earlier this week, Pakistan is lamenting its loss to the underdog US team.
