Although the two cricketing giants don't feature in bilateral ties due to political issues, there is always a great level of excitement and anticipation whenever the two teams meet in multi-nation tournaments.
Even in the ongoing World Cup in England and Wales, there’s already enough hype for game number 22 – the mother of all clashes – to be played between India and Pakistan on 16 June in Manchester.
Such is the craze among the fans that they are willing to pay any amount of money to witness what is expected to be a high-octane encounter between the arch-rivals.
