Cricket fans will be treated to yet another India vs Pakistan cricket match this week. Dinesh Karthik led India will take on Abbas Afridi led Pakistan in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament. The match will be played on November 7, and will kick off at 1:05 PM IST.
Like in ICC events, India and Pakistan have been drawn in the same group alongside Kuwait. A total of 12 teams have been divided into groups of 4. Two teams from each group will pass onto the knockout stages.
Despite it being a 5-over clash, the tournament enjoys a massive fan following. Last season, India had Robin Uthappa as captain with Manoj Tiwary and Stuart Binny featuring. Binny and Uthappa will partner Karthik in this edition as well. Ravichandran Ashwin was expected to take part initially, but was ruled out after a knee surgery.
