It may just be a warm up match, but the hype has already been created. If some thing goes really wrong, then this may be the only encounter between the two arch rivals. India as I said before are the favourites to the tournament.
Having won the last World Cup and coming directly from the IPL, they are in the same mode (20-20) with the best players. Pakistan on the other hand will be entering the match with a huge loss on their back against the South Africans.
It would be a great for both the teams to get some serious action before the actual tournament starts from the 5th of June. As far as Pakistan is concerned, they will have to get the rid of the rust they have accumulated due to the lack of match practise.
For India, it would be a great time to get the team combination rite. They have the best players in the tournament but without the perfect combination, their fate could be similar to what Australia did to the World XI a few years back.
The proceeds of the match have already been donated to the families of the persons effected in the Lahore attack. A good gesture!
