India Vs Pakistan: The matches between India and Pakistan have been a big-ticket event over the years and many former cricket players and experts have called this (India Vs Pakistan) clash the mother of all battles.

Some also regard it as a bigger match than the Ashes Test series, which is played between Australia and England.

Due to the political tensions and major issues related to terrorism, India and Pakistan don’t play the series quite often.

These two teams mainly play against each other only in the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup and the Asia Cup in the ODI and the shortest format.

That is the reason why the matches played between these two neighbouring countries are so exciting and fun to watch.
