The last ICC World Cup was held in the year 2015. Cricket fans after waiting for a period of 4 years were again excited about the most important cup in the world of cricket. And this time it was held in the country that gave cricket to everyone else, England. But alas, the infamous cloudy weather and rain of London has played spoilsport on many a match.
Some fans have gone to the extent of calling the ICC World Cup 2019 the most boring one ever because nature has been playing against cricket since the tournament started and apparently winning. Many matches have had to face the wrath of the rain gods and now in front of a very important match, all fans are praying that the rain doesn’t interrupt the India Pakistan match.
Till now 4 matches have already been halted with no conclusion because of the rain. It has been frustrating to the fans, to say the least.
On Sunday India and Pakistan are to face each other on the field. Fans from both the neighboring countries, India and Pakistan, where cricket is not just a sport but a religion are praying to the rain gods to let it ‘not’ rain during the match. Because after all, with a bitter rivalry between these two countries since Independence, it’s only fair that a match of this intensity will be watched with all eagerness.
All kinds of prayers and earnest requests have been made to entreat the rain gods to get their favour. So that both the countries can enjoy the match that they have been waiting for so long. Twitter is full of prayers asking the rain god to let it rain in India where summer is at peak instead of Manchester, where the match is supposed to take place.
The healthy rivalry between the fans of both the teams has also started on Twitter. Even ICC has joined the banter praying for rains to not come and be a spoilsport to the game. This is one explosive match that is guaranteed to add the fireworks to the world cup game that has been going on.So let’s wait and watch , and pray hopefully that all the gods and goddesses of rain spare this match so that we can relive this blazing rivalry once more!
