When India and Pakistan, the titans of Asian cricket, produced a thrilling match at the 2022 World T20, it was a welcome coming together for two sides that have not played each other too many times in recent years. Security concerns will always exist in every era but both sets of fans mixed on the way to the match in Melbourne, selling shirts side by side outside the ground.
Over 90,000 fans roared in Melbourne, setting a new record for the largest cricket attendance at the venue for two competing countries, excluding Australia.
