That's the way we are, brothers - divided by a unvisible line, political ambitions, hatred for petty gains. Being played by our politicsl and defence akas......but we have same blood, same heart, same mother(land).

Nothing new. This happens in cricket all over the world. The batsman gets help from fielding side. No point hyping this up simply because it's India vs Pakistan.

Here are some match updates
In terms of the contest, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya came to the rescue, and Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled a blazing spell, but weather forced India and Pakistan to split points in an Asia Cup match that had all the ingredients for a spectacular conclusion.
India were all out in 48.5 overs before the heavens opened up. Kishan (82 off 81 balls) and Pandya (87 off 90 balls) combined for 138 runs off 141 balls to boost their team from 66 for 4 in 14.1 overs.
The no-result meant that Pakistan finished Group A with three points, assuring them of a spot in the tournament's Super Four. Kishan and Pandya's performances will be regarded as a positive foreshadowing in India.
They banded together after Pakistan pacers Shahid Afridi and Haris Rauf teamed to knock off Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli early in the innings. India, who earned a point in their first match, are set to defeat Nepal on Monday and go to the Super Four.
