#2 India vs Pakistan (June 16th)
Arguably the most awaited clash of this World Cup, India taking on Pakistan at Old Trafford, Manchester, this game promises to be a high voltage encounter.
Both Virat Kohli and Sarfraz Ahmed have stated that they won't allow any external scenario to infuse more aggression to the game and that the sides share a mutual respect for each other both on and off the field.
Pakistan have a 73-54 lead over India in 127 completed ODIs while India holds a 6-0 win record over Pakistan in the World Cups. With both sides coming into the contest with a lot of passion and flair, expect a truly endearing battle.
Key Players for India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Kuldeep Yadav.
Key Players for Pakistan: Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, and Wahab Riaz
#1 England vs Australia (25th June)
A match-up with over 135 years of history, these are the two sides who really fight it out as far as the game is concerned but are good friends off the field, as seen in this year's success of the Warner-Bairstow duo in the IPL. Australia vs England is a well-known fixture among all cricketing fans and with the annual Test Series known primarily as The Ashes, the rivalry gets carried on regardless of the format.
The fierce competition between the sides was reflected even in the warm-up game as the banned Aussie duo of Steve Smith and David Warner made a brilliant comeback despite being booed by a rampant England crowd. With supporters of both these sides set to flock the stadium, a lot of banter is set to accompany the cricket which of course, is first-rate.
Australia lead 81-61 in head-to-head stats in 144 completed ODIs of which 2 games were tied. The Aussies also lead 5-2 in 7 World Cup matches.
On Tuesday, 25th June, one of the most classic cricket matches will take place at the iconic Lord's Stadium in London where these 2 champion sides take on each other.
Key Players for England: Jason Roy, Joe Root, and Jofra Archer
Key Players for Australia: Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc
