India vs. Paskitan: The biggest rivalry in cricket

Image result for india vs pakistan cricket     The history of India and Pakistan is very simple. They were unified as one India and drove away the British Rulers. Then, they separated for religious reasons to become two countries, one Muslim and the other Hindu. This is when the heated rivalry of the neighboring countries started. The rivalry was best shown in cricket. The sport brought to India and Pakistan by the British who once ruled over them. In 2011 the cricket world cup was held in those countries along with Sri Lanka. They met in the semifinals at Mohali to decide who is going to play against Sri Lanka in the finals. India won 260-231 also winning in the finals against Sri Lanka to win their second world cup trophy. India has won all the world cup matches against Pakistan including the most recent match in the 2015 world cup. But, Pakistan has won more ODI's(One Day International) with a lead of 72-51 in matches won. This rivalry has had some very famous matches over the years in both test and ODI matches. Pakistan also leads in the amount of test series won 12-9 in number of matches. This seems to be irrelevant since still in the World Cup Pakistan has not been able to defeat India in these heated matches. In conclusion, India verses Pakistan has been a heated rivalry ever since the 2 countries were created in cricket and outside of cricket. But, these neighboring countries settle their differences on the cricket ground leaving some great matches in the record books.
