I think that it might turn out to be a very one sided affair. Pakistan has been playing 20-20 for a long while now, in their domestic leagues, and thus the players are quite well versed with that version of the game.

India on the other hand, have practically no experience.

Furthermore, the indian bowling/fielding (even with their 20/20 team) leaves a lot to be desired.

Having said that though, on a given day... anything can happen.

I just don't get it with cricket.
How many World Cup in a year they have?
Like almost every week they play the same team/country over and over again, with slightly different rules.

Cricket only has 2 World Cup's

1 World Cup which is 50 overs per side every 4 years.

The other which will be played every 2 years that is 20 over per side. This one has never been played before .

The 20 / 20 is really a test case now, we go from real cricket (5 day test match) to 50 / 40 over 1 day and now we have 20 / 20 I am yet to be convinced with this one.

It might be approching a baseball game. 9 innings -average 130 pitches thrown per side

20/20 cricket = 120 balls bowled per side.

Soon the'll alternate who bats after a few overs.
