India and Pakistan clash on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was one of the best matches of all time. Virat Kohli played the best innings of his career to lead the Men in Blue to a four-wicket win at the MCG.
The game will be remembered and spoken about for a long time. Many fans want to see the two nations taking on each other in the ongoing tournament in Australia. It is still possible for the Men in Blue and the Babar Azam-led team to play each other in the final scheduled at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 13.
New Zealand and England have qualified for the semis in Group 1. However, the teams are yet to be confirmed in Group 2, as South Africa, India, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are in contention.
South Africa vs Netherlands, Pakistan vs Bangladesh, and India vs Zimbabwe matches are still left.
How can India-Pakistan play the final?
If India beat Zimbabwe, they will qualify for the semis. Pakistan will have to beat Bangladesh and hope the Netherlands will stun South Africa, or the game will be washed out.
If these events happen, the two Asian giants will make it to the semi-finals. Pakistan will play New Zealand, while India will battle England in the semis. If India and Pakistan emerge victorious in the semi-finals, they will play each other in the finale.
