India A vs Pakistan A: The Group Stage Highlight
It can be said that any India-Pakistan game is a headline itself, and this should be no different. Since both teams are full of the new talent where a lot of players are just one step away from getting selected to the senior team it can be expected that the intensity of the match will be similar to that of a normal international match.
This match that is set to take place on November 16 at 8 PM IST will probably be the last round of the semifinals to be drawn.
