The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently announced the schedule for the 2022 T20 World Cup and as always, Pakistan's contest against their arch-rivals India has captured the headlines.
Pakistan, who recently registered their first-ever victory against India in an ICC-hosted event, will face arch-rival on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Similar to everyone, South African modern-day legendary pacer Dale Steyn also could not contain his excitement at the prospect of seeing both teams head to head once again.
Steyn remarked 'it is going to be crazy' as the two teams will face each other at one of the finest venues in the world; the MCG.
"It’s going to be crazy. Just the game aside, it’s incredible. MCG is one of my favorite venues to play cricket. We played against India at the 2015 World Cup at the MCG. It was so loud when I tried to call whoever it was at mid-on from the middle, they couldn’t hear me. Now you turn the tables a little bit with Pakistan involved. It’s going to be absolutely crazy," the South African said in an interview on Star Sports.
Pakistan's historic win in the 2021 T20 World Cup - where Pakistan registered a 10-wicket victory - has set the tone for the upcoming fixture later this year.
