Cricket fans in Colombo are excited as Pakistan has withdrawn its decision to boycott and confirmed that it will play against India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match scheduled for February 15.
Fans have expressed delight at the announcement after days of uncertainty over the high-profile clash. Many said the India-Pakistan encounter is the biggest attraction of the tournament and brings unmatched energy to the stands. Fans had booked tickets for the marquee fixture long ago and were hoping the game would take place.
Sri Lanka Cricket had also detailed logistical arrangements, including ticket sales, in their letter to Pakistan. The Pakistan government announced late last night that it would reverse its earlier decision and allow the team to take the field. With the controversy settled, Colombo is gearing up for a packed stadium and a festival-like atmosphere around the marquee fixture.
