Speaking of India’s campaign in the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup, they entered into the semi-finals as the table toppers of Group 1 after defeating Zimbabwe in the last super-12 match. On the other hand, the men in green Pakistan who were at the second spot in Group 2 points table are now in the finals of the tournament. Babar Azam’s men will face England in the title clash of the tournament.
