One of the most tense rivalries in all of sports will be on display Sunday morning when India and Pakistan face off in a T20 World Cup group stage match. Weather permitting, the top squads will face off in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Pakistan and India have always been fierce adversaries on the cricket field, but their rivalry is primarily fueled by decades of violent hostility between the nations. Pakistan originally boycotted the T20 World Cup game against host India, but reversed the decision last week.
