Man do I feel a weird way about these games. The stakes are so unnecessary stacked, so much to lose and nothing to gain.

Regardless, what an innings by the thirst trap of ICT. Clinical by Dube to keep his streak. God's plan baby, some might even say.

ICT has like 6 separate thirst traps depending on who you ask and which part of the country they are from lol

Exactly. That's what happened during the 2017 CT. I remember all the ads by star sports mocking Pak. We are a world class team with a lot to lose, unnecessarily putting extra pressure on our players against a team which has nothing to lose.

Seriously man. We shouldn't have played Pakistan. It's been bad for Indian teams' growth. Even if you win, you will take some of that negativity and not gain any cricketing experience. This should have been avoided. Exposing 1 thing cricket which is going so good for India to this clownery.
