A billion people could watch the India-Pakistan Champions Trophy cricket final tonight

India and Pakistan face off tonight at the Kensington Oval cricket ground in London, England at the Champions Trophy final. The tournament happens once every four years, and is scheduled to occur in between World Cups, so that fans don't have to wait four years for a major cricket tournament.
It is only the second time India and Pakistan face each other in the final of a major tournament. The last one was 32 years ago in 1985 when India beat Pakistan in Australia at the Benson and Hedges World Championship of Cricket - LINK
India have never lost to Pakistan in major ICC tournaments or at World Cup matches, although Pakistan has a better overall record against India. However in crunch high pressure high stake matches, India seems to bring a little extra to the table, or Pakistan just fizzles out.
India and Australia were the favorites going into this year's edition, but Australia crashed out of the league stages and didn't even make the semifinals.
India has already beaten Pakistan once (both teams' first league match) and is expected to win again in the final.
There is none of the LSU vs Bama - can't beat the same team twice - mentality leading into the final. Pakistan are clear underdogs for the match, which starts at 4:30 am CST Sunday morning if I recall correctly.

One of the most heated sports rivalries in the world. I cannot imagine the pressure these cricket players are feeling right now.

It's amazing how the two are basically the same people but the simple fact the majority of Indians are Hindu and not Muslim makes them so much better.
