More than two years after they faced off in the 2019 50-over World Cup, India and Pakistan will meet in a global tournament, again, this time in the Super 12s stage of the 2021 men’s T20 World Cup, to be co-hosted by the UAE and Oman between October 17 and November 14.
On Friday, the ICC announced the make-up of the groups – both for the first round and for the Super 12s stage – for the big-ticket tournament, which will be the first multi-team, global event organised by the ICC since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic early last year – the final of the World Test Championship, between India and New Zealand, was hosted in Southampton last month.
