I hope match gets washed out fully , kind of clown show that put up before this tournament & now this , even if i forget about IND-PAK issue for a moment, the mockery it does to world cup and other 18 teams playing in it.

All this drama of no handshake , only to host a concert for pakistanis.this glorification is cringe and illogical.BCCI desreves every single hate that will come on their way & less said about ICC & Jay Shah ..why tf you're allowing it, stop treating it like some kind of special match ,treat it as just another match.

Haven't watched a IND-PAK clash after Pahalgam attack & won't watch this either. F*** BCCI

^^ said it many times, we are not serious country. Bencho sirf BCCi hi nahi but everyone is in it. It's a cashcow for ICC, Broadcasters will hype it and fans will give record breaking viewership, although I don't blame fans for having goldfish memories and more importantly decision should come from top but inn logo ko toh olympics host karne ke liye good boy banna hai.

Self respecting nation should have ignored their existence completely or if it's not possible then atleast pretend to take things casually and not hype it.

Well, this is business. India vs Pakistan match will probably the highest ever recorded for number of viewership so the broadcaster will just hype it and aim for few hundred million viewership that will make them more money. And Pakistan team is not really worth the hype, they are not the same 90's team which can give scare to any team but the current one is competing with smaller nations so it will be 8-1 in ICC tournament head to head results.

Bhai log I am not sure what is job of Jay Shah and how he is handling things because ICC was on Knees for this game which is now going to be played tomorrow even I am still sure quality difference is widened, and Pakistani players are also not able to handle pressure, so this is another one-sided game.
But business is business, and they are happy with this another U-turn from PCB because their boycott was also logically wrong, and their comeback is also having no ethics, but this world cup makes Pakistani Bengali bhai bhai.

I am expecting South Africa and India into final what is your views about this because both are at their best and have chance of win as well.

Yes and its always schedule in a way that both could face eachother atleast 2 times in any ICC tournaments.

First is deliberately fixing initial group, which is quarnteed and i glanced over super 8 pre seeding and it feels like its designed in a such a way that if both teams does well in the next phase and not fumbling their chances then there is a possibility of IND vs pak final.

They're not dominant but in t-20 anything could happen and they only need 1 win and followed by " this win is dedicated to falestin/Bangladesh". Plenty of cheerleaders in world cricket for these kind of narrative, business as usual if India wins.

I still don't understand the preseeding, what it is supposed to be? If they finished in top 2 then it is about who is playing against who right?

Indian batting should be careful with Pakistan bowling, not a threatening but they can surprise because our players are not exposed to them much apart from ICC and few unorthodox actions can make them tricky. Abishek also seems to be recovered from the some ill so probably we could see a blistering start as usual.

It's based on existing team ranking in format and doesn't matter who is securing 1st or 2nd spot in any group. Pre seeding makes it irrevelent.

Usually it's done for easing logistics issues but ICC does it so that they can squeeze as much from big encounters and make sure big ticket teams face eachother atleast once.
