T20 World Cup: Shane Watson wants India-Pakistan final at MCG

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson wants an India-Pakistan final at the ongoing T20 World Cup. With India and Pakistan both qualifying for the semifinals of the marquee event, a dream final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday looms a strong possibility.

The two teams had clashed in the Group 2 match in front of a sell-out MCG on October 23, where Virat Kohli's iconic 82 not out had taken India over the line on the last ball of the chase.

"Everyone would love to see Pakistan and India in the final. I unfortunately missed that first (Super 12) game at the MCG, as I commentated the game previously between Australia and New Zealand (at SCG a day before).

"But from all reports, all the people that went along to that game said it was something very special and the game was obviously an amazing game to watch on TV as well. They played in the T20 World Cup final in 2007 and everyone would love to see it again," Watson was quoted as saying by the official website of the tournament.

New Zealand, the Group 1 table-toppers, have been in-form in all departments of the game. Pakistan, on the other hand, won three matches on the trot after losing the first two matches and were given a lifeline by Netherlands beating South Africa to make an entry into the last-four stage.

While Group 2 table topper India have won four off their five games in the Super 12 stage.
