Manchester: The big day is upon us. It is Sunday (June 16) and fans are eagerly waiting for the India-Pakistan clash at the ICC World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford in Manchester. The ‘men in blue’ start as favourites considering their recent form and World Cup record against Pakistan. India have never lost a World Cup match to the ‘men in green’, holding 6-0 advantage. Today’s match could be decided by these six men, watch out for them.

'I am someone who plays the game with love, passion and loves challenges. In three and a half years, I have been preparing for this so time has come,' Haridk Pandya said ahead of India's ICC World Cup 2019 match against New Zealand

'This guy (Hardik Pandya) might just be the equivalent of Lance Klusener in the 1999 World Cup. He has the ability to begin his innings like most finish with clean hitting that no opposing captain can protect,' wrote Steve Waugh after watching Pandya hit a 27-ball 48 against Australia in ICC World Cup 2019

'The other major plus for India is that Yuzvendra Chahal is in superb form and that makes a big difference because he gets wickets with his spin in the middle overs,' wrote Kris Srikkanth after India's win over Australia in the ICC World Cup 2019

'We were more motivated to win today because of the fact that we lost the series in India, being 2-0 up, and there was no Mitchell Starc, either. So him coming in makes their bowling lineup even stronger,' Virat Kohli said after defeating Austraila in the ICC World Cup 2019 match

India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma poked fun at his teammates as he revealed the "worst" players ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019. Rohit disclosed who is the "worst room-mate" too

Shane Watson smashed Krunal Pandya for 20 runs in the 18th over, and with him at the crease with just a little over 10 runs needed, the equation was looking well within CSK's grasp
 

Mumbai Indians' spinners Rahul Chahar, Krunal Pandya, and Jayant Yadav bowled brilliantly on a pitch that was turning square. Rohit Sharma assessed the conditions shrewdly and attacked with his spinners from both ends, and this is where Rohit Sharma outperformed MS Dhoni as captain

In IPL 2019 so far, Hardik has played 12 matches for Mumbai Indians and smashed 355 runs at a strike rate of 198.32. He is hitting the ball as cleanly as anyone can and has the second-best strike rate in the tournament, only behind Kolkata Knight Riders' Andre Russell

The two retired police officers, accused in the Ishrat Jahan alleged encounter case, have sought that proceedings against them in the case be dropped as the state government has decided not to grant sanction to the CBI to prosecute them as required under section 197 of the CrPC

In the past few years, there has been a tangible transition from full-scale militancy to unrest and disturbances in different forms which have become a matter of concern for general masses of Kashmir. The repercussions of continued unrest and conflicts are quite evident. 

 

For Delhi, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw laid a strong foundation scoring one less than a 50-run partnership. But after that, the Capitals lost their way in the middle overs and just couldn't make a comeback. In the end, they fell short by 40 runs and slumped to the third spot in the points table.
