@Devadwal India are favorites now after commanding win against Australia otherwise Pakistan would have been favorite. What do you think?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Squad wise it gives you 2007 vibes but what about results?

 

[deltexas]

Pak is absolutely fave here. They have 3 or 4 current international players whereas the Ind team is old retirees and most of them overweight. Unless Pak collapses - it will be a Pak win. If all the Pak players were retirees too - then I would say Ind for sure is the favorite though

 

[RidiculousMan]

Well well well. Last two matches for Pakistan Legends have been a bit shaky. And Indian Legends team have caught up.

We should see close contest. I will still favor Pakistan 55-45.

 

[gazza619]

Bought tickets. Going to the stadium tomorrow.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

If Pakistan beat India it will be a great moment of celebrating for Pakistan fans after few tough months. What would the celebrations be like?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Retirees playing for fun.

No need to make it anything more.

[dravidthewall]

Pak team is full of athletics and fit. Their fitness level is better than current Pakistan national team.Also big name likes of Younis misbah,Afridi,kamran,malik,tanvir,ajmal are playing. India on the other hand no good bowlers only harbhajan singh looks threatening. Kulkarni and vinay kumar are thrundlers Batting department also weak only uthappa and yousuf is in good form, all others are retired heavy weights. Defenetely Pakistan is favourite and to win this.

 

[big_gamer007]

Pakistan took this tournament seriously and brought in active players like Sharjeel, Malik. Those 2 will alone beat the Indian retiree’s and tonk them around the park.

Indian players after retiring are all fat and made so much money they probably just enjoy life and don’t care about cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal India are favorites now after commanding win against Australia otherwise Pakistan would have been favorite. What do you think?

Nah Pakistan favourite .
Anyways its just Normal fun game , Don't take seriously

 

[BouncerGuy]

Indo-pak game is always fun, no matter the stage and age.

Final is something that matters to many. This is going to be a great game surely. Pakistan to win IMO.

 

[Mohraheem]

Hope Misbah gets hit by a bouncer and forgets he ever played cricket. So we can move on from tuktuk players

[Croma]

Now that Virat, Rohit and Jadeja have retired can they join the tournament...? lol

I thought Pakistan would be clear favorites due to SHarjeel and Kamran who are in great touch and also the ong time of batters who can smash the leather out of the ball.

But Utappa, Yuvraj, and the Pathan brothers seemed to have hit some hitting form.. so... for me.. it's even stevens at the moment.

 

[AMSS]

Finally the trophy that counts

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol this could be World championship of fixers. WI were 3/0 in 4 overs chasing 198 against Pak.
And Australia played so poorly to ensure indo pak final

Hello all I am a new member here.

I agree with above comment.

Ajay Devgan is co-owner of this league.

This is worse than pub xi standard.. but Ind Pak are pretty much pathetic at every other sports so the fans see this as Eng v Spain final 24hrs before !

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

After the final win Younus Khan will dedicate the victory over India to all Muslims across the world. He will make an emotional plea to Pakistan Cricket Board to let the ex-players run cricket and bring back the glory. An open bus celebration in the streets of Lahore with the trophy with Afridi and Wahab singing mauka mauka.. Scenes

 

[Shafi]

India is way too strong for us after finding form. It will be a miracle for us to beat them since our batting is way too fragile and bowling is average.

 

[Shafi]

Lol this could be World championship of fixers. WI were 3/0 in 4 overs chasing 198 against Pak.

Ever since the evolve of local leagues, cricket is all about money for ICC and players rather than passion.

Yaha bhi??? Conspiracy theories and Pakistan fans are a match made in heaven. Can't really blame them, it is a clear sign of how the power to be has always failed them as a nation.

Hey, don't count India with Pak, we are world champions in Javelin, Chess, rifle shooting, Wrestling.

India stands on its own and has done good for itself, even though both countries started their journey at the same time.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Not the right thread for talking about INDIA AND PAKISTAN in other sports.

This is a match thread. talk about it only..

 

[harshjoshi87]

India champions side is not taking this tournament seriously, they are just having fun reliving their old glory days.

Pakistan on the other hand are very much serious about this tournament.

Let's see how it goes.

 

[Croma]

Today will be very interesting. Will this thread get more posts or the India-Zimbabwe one?

Games in IPL can be fixed and teams be banned but it can't happen in this league

Ah it sure will be when the Idnians go for a quick bite half way and never return to their seats.

Maybe they can donate the proceeds of these India/Pak matches they depend on to function Bollywood Devgan to the rescue after Pak’s early exit in the WT20!

 

[shaz619]

For true Pak fans this match is more about a special movement and idea, it’s a protest for the change we want to see. I will be looking for others with the green V for Vendetta masks in the Hollies

 

[shaz619]

Everybody is travelling to watch this for the beats slayer Sharjeel King Khan and in protest of Babar & Rizwan, Indians to, they cost the BCCI their ICC tournament bonus!

 

[pakistani pride]

We do take this really serious.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are favorites. They are on a roll too.

It will be a good final hopefully.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

What’s going on here? Didnt Pakistan already beat us? I thought we’d been eliminated, but obviously not.

Edit - clearly, I haven’t been following this.

I mean yeah, pak Champions is mostly the pak team of old whereas current Pakistan team is basically a Woo hoo look at everyone sucking while babar and rizwan are scoring most of the runs AND STILL LOSING

 

[jnaveen1980]

This useless league will finally have some viewers.
