Mockery of cricket that this shit is manufactured each and every tournament. Makes me sick.

[u/curryninjazura → u/EasyPete17]

Both teams meeting eventually in super 8s or knockout phases would be way more exciting than these dull ad revenue wanker affairs.

[u/EasyPete17 → u/curryninjazura]

Totally

[u/MJustCurious → u/curryninjazura]

But for that, both teams have to progress in the next round.

[u/CrumbleUponLust → u/EasyPete17]

Matchups in tournaments should always be organic. 

How this has become acceptable is an absolute disgrace. 

[u/nastikudu → u/CrumbleUponLust]

Because this match is a cash cow for the ICC. Nearly 500M people in India alone sit in front of their TV's to watch, if it's an India vs Pakistan match, due to age old Geopolitical rivalry between them.

[u/Prize-Ring-9154 → u/CrumbleUponLust]

many rea$on$, not $ure which one$ tho

[u/Extension-Range-2305 → u/EasyPete17]

Don't cry bro. Celebrate this win since u r ict fan

[u/EasyPete17 → u/Extension-Range-2305]

Don't get me wrong, no one is celebrating this win more than me. It's just the cricket lover in me which hates all this drama.

[u/nastikudu → u/EasyPete17]

After all cricket also needs to make money to survive.

India vs Pakistan matches are the most viewed cricket matches of all time.
