The phrase “Broadcasters will be dying for it” – Wasim Jaffer on the potential of an India-Pakistan T20 World Cup final in 2022. From Group 2 of the Super 12 phases, India and Pakistan advanced to the semifinals.
The India-Pakistan match at the MCG in the Super 12 phases of the T20 World Cup 2022 demonstrated the intensity of the match. More than 90,000 supporters packed the stadium, and the game was decided down to the wire. It was a game for the ages, with many twists and turns that proved to be a humdinger. Virat Kohli was the game’s outstanding batsman, scoring a scorching unbeaten half-century to help his team win.
Since the game, there has been much speculation about more India-Pakistan games taking place in other locations. Notably, after placing first and second in Group 2, both of these clubs have advanced to the semi-finals. If they win their semi-final games, it may be another big India-Pakistan final at the MCG.
Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer showed how it may benefit broadcasters greatly.
