Pakistan, India to clash at MCG in 2022 T20 World Cup on Oct 23​

• The two sides met last year in Dubai when Pakistan thrashed India by 10 wickets
• Pakistan, India, South Africa and Bangladesh are clubbed in Group 2

MELBOURNE: Pakistan and India will lock horns in a blockbuster T20 World Cup group clash for the second year running after the fixtures for the October-November 2022 tournament in Australia were announced on Friday.

The arch-rivals will lock horns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on October 23, a day after Australia begin their title defence against New Zealand in Sydney -- a repeat of the 2021 final in Dubai where Aaron Finch's team won their maiden crown.

The 16-nation tournament will begin on October 16 with Sri Lanka facing Namibia in Geelong -- one of seven venues as Australia hosts for the first time.

"Our planning was ultra-detailed last time and knowing what the groups look like nine months out is really helpful because it can help your level of detail in that planning phase more and more," Finch said.

"It's a tough group though, and when you throw in qualifiers like the West Indies and Sri Lanka, you've got to play really well to get out of that group stage."

The top two teams from both Group A and Group B in the preliminary first round will join the automatically qualified nations in the Super 12 stage.

England, New Zealand, Australia and Afghanistan have been drawn together in Group 1.

India, Pakistan, South Africa and Bangladesh are clubbed in Group 2.

The spotlight will be on the Group 2 India-Pakistan contest at the MCG, with the two in recent years only meeting in multi-nation events.

Pakistan recorded their first win over India in World Cups last year in Dubai when they hammered Virat Kohli's team.

The Sydney Cricket Ground will host the first semi-final on November 9 while the second last-four clash will be held at the Adelaide Oval.

The final will be played at the MCG on November 13 under lights.

The tournament will begin with a six-day preliminary stage of two four-team groups.

Sri Lanka and Namibia in Group A, and West Indies and Scotland in Group B will be joined by four qualifiers yet to be determined.

Australia had been due to host the T20 World Cup in 2020 but it was delayed two years because of the coronavirus pandemic with India retaining the 2021 edition -- though that edition had to be shifted to Dubai because of Covid.

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup (earlier known as ICC World Twenty20) is the international championship of Twenty20 cricket. Organised by cricket's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), the tournament currently consists of 16 teams, comprising the top ten teams from the rankings at the given deadline and six other teams chosen through the T20 World Cup Qualifier.

The event has generally been held every two years. However, the 2020 edition of the tournament was scheduled to take place in 2020 in Australia, but due to COVID-19, the tournament was postponed to 2021, with the host changed to India, five years after the conclusion of the 2016 edition. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, the matches were relocated to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.

In May 2016, the ICC put forward the idea of having a tournament in 2018, with South Africa being the possible host. But at the conclusion of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, the ICC dropped the idea of 2018 edition.

Seven tournaments have so far been played, and only the West Indies has won the tournament on multiple occasions.

The inaugural 2007 World Twenty20, was staged in South Africa, and won by India, who defeated Pakistan in the final at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

The 2009 tournament took place in England, and was won by the previous runner-up, Pakistan, who defeated Sri Lanka in the final at Lord's.

The third tournament was held in 2010, hosted by the countries making up the West Indies cricket team. England defeated Australia in the final in Barbados, which was played at Kensington Oval, winning their first international tournament.

The fourth tournament, the 2012 World Twenty20, was held in Asia for the first time, with all matches played in Sri Lanka. The West Indies won the tournament by defeating Sri Lanka in the final, winning its first international tournament since the 2004 Champions Trophy.

The fifth tournament, the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, was hosted by Bangladesh, and was won by Sri Lanka defeating India, Sri Lanka being the first team to play in three finals.

The sixth tournament, the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, was hosted by India and was won by West Indies defeating England.

Australia are the current T20 World Cup holders, having beaten New Zealand in the 2021 final, winning their first title.

Left-handed batter Shan Masood made the cut while underperforming Fakhar Zaman was excluded from Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad, announced Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim on Thursday.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Wasim announced the 15-member squad which sees the return of Pakistan’s pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi and bowler Mohammad Wasim junior, both of whom skipped the Asia Cup 2022 due to injuries.

A notable exception in the reserves was Sarfaraz Ahmed who was passed over for Mohammad Haris as the reserve wicketkeeper, along with Hasan Ali who was also not included in the squad at all. Shoaib Malik was also a notable missing presence.

Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed and Asif Ali — who did not make a splash in the Asia Cup — made the cut. Fastbowler Shahnawaz Dahani, however, was placed in the reserves.

Squad: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (vice captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim jr, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shan Masood and Usman Qadir.

The travel reserves include Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper) and Shahnawaz Dahani.

The World Cup will be played in Australia from October 16 to November 13.

The chief selector also announced the squad for the T20 international matches against England and said all players announced for the World Cup were part of the series line-up, except for Zaman and Afridi.

He added that all-rounder Amir Jamal and spinner Abrar Ahmed were also included in the squad for the T20 series against England.

Pathetic team selection. No Shoaib Malik? No Imad Wasim. Why are players like Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali and Iftikhar Ahmed in the team?

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday that tickets for the highly anticipated match between Pakistan and India in the group stage of the upcoming T20 World Cup had sold out.

In a press release, the ICC said tickets for the Pak-India match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23 were sold out, with additional standing room tickets “snapped up within minutes of going on sale”.

“An official re-sale platform will be launched closer to the event, where fans can exchange tickets at face value,” the ICC said.

Current ticket allocations are also all sold for the double-header at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on October 27 featuring South Africa against Bangladesh and India against the Group A runner-up, the press release said, encouraging fans to join the waitlist in the event of additional tickets becoming available.

“Only a very limited number of tickets remain for Australia’s opening Super 12 fixture against New Zealand at the SCG on October 22, the double-header featuring Pakistan against Group A runner-up and India against South Africa at Perth Stadium on October 30, and Pakistan against South Africa at the SCG on November 3,” the ICC said.

The council also said 500,000 fans had bought tickets for the T20 World Cup, which was set to begin in one month’s time.

The 16-nation tournament will begin on October 16 with Sri Lanka facing Namibia in Geelong — one of seven venues as Australia hosts for the first time.

Last year’s India-Pakistan encounter at the T20 Men’s World Cup had garnered a record television reach of 167 million.

The highly-anticipated match had seen Pakistan writing history, beating India for the first time in a world cup fixture. In the thrilling contest, the Green Shirts had inflicted a chastening 10-wicket defeat on their arch-rivals.

Pak-Afgan and Lanka-Bangbros are the best rivalries in Asia now. Very high-intensity, adrenaline-powered matches between them. Indo-Pak used to have the same passion, but it's missing now. Doesn't feel the same way now. Hope it returns
