More than a year since the last time India and Pakistan faced each other, this is one match that fans have been eagerly awaiting — the encounter at the Asia Cup 2018 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
With the never-ending political tension across the border, India-Pakistan matches have always been more than just cricket.
Tennis star Sania Mirza rightly warned us about the hate that takes social media by storm every time the two sides are playing each other. But not everyone is looking forward to toxic jibes and trolling.
Soo less than 24hrs to go for this match,safe to sign out of social media for a few days since the amount of nonsense thts gonna b said here can make a ‘regular’ person sick ,let alone a pregnant one????Later guys!Knock yourselves out!BUT remember-ITS ONLY A CRICKET MATCH! Toodles!

Here's a picture to warm up the hearts of cricket fans who are looking forward to only cricket (sounds almost unbelievable, right?) on both sides of the border.
