Centurion may host Indo-Pak match


Recommended Posts

India may lock horns with their arch-rival Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy at Centurion on September 26, according to the tentative itinerary for the tournament to be announced soon. According to details, the match would be played at the same venue, where India had defeated Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup and advanced to the final. India has been clubbed with Pakistan, Australia and the West Indies in one group, while New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka and South Africa are in the other group. According to the tentative itinerary, Pakistan will begin their Champions Trophy campaign against the West Indies on September 24 in a day-night encounter in Johannesburg. They would play Australia at the same venue on September 28. The Champions Trophy was originally scheduled to be held in Pakistan in September-October last year but ICC postponed and eventually moved out the event of the strife-torn country due to security reasons. Sources said that since the biannual Champions Trophy had already been delayed by a year, the ICC was contemplating not staging the tournament in 2010 and concentrating on the next Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies. http://www.cricbuzz.com/component/latest_cricket_news/Story/14723/centurion-may-host-indo-pak-match/
