There are so many people hoping and even praying for India to win, and this match in particular has a lot of feelings involved from both countries. When it comes to India & Pakistan battles, Indian soldiers have always stood their ground and never fallen back.
Lets hope this will be the case for the Indo-Pak match as well, otherwise millions of Indians and cricket enthusiasts will abandon the sport.

About “CRICKET”
History of Cricket
The game of cricket has a known history spanning from the 16th century to the present day, with international matches played since 1844, although the official history of international Test cricket began in 1877. During this time, the game developed from its origins in England.
Origin
No one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence. It is most likely cricket is invented by children. Adult participation is unknown before the early 17th century.
Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies in the 17th century,In the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by British East India company in the first half of the century.It arrived in Australia almost as soon as colonization began in 1788.New Zealand and South Africa followed in the early years of the 19th century.
Start of International Cricket
The first ever international cricket game was between the USA and Canada in 1844. The match was played in St George's Cricket Club in New York.
In 1859, a team of leading English professionals set off to North America on the first-ever overseas tour and, in 1862, the first English team toured Australia.
In 1877, an England touring team in Australia played two matches against full Australian that are now regarded as the inaugural Test matches. The following year, the Australians toured England for the first time and were a spectacular success. No Tests were played on that tour but more soon followed and, at The Oval in 1882, arguably the most famous match of all time gave rise to The Ashes. South Africa became the third Test nation in 1889.
Balls In Each Over
Earlier there were four balls in each over.In 1889 four ball over was replaced by a five ball over and then this was changed to the current six balls an over in 1900.
Dismissal (Ways of a Player Dismissal)
Bowled: the bowler has hit the wicket with the ball and the wicket has "broken" with at least one bail being dislodged (note that if the ball hits the wicket without dislodging a bail it is not out)
Caught: the batsman has hit the ball with his bat, or with his hand which was holding the bat, and the ball has been caught before it has touched the ground by a member of the fielding side.
Leg before wicket (lbw): first and foremost, the ball must, in the opinion of the on-field,If the batsman plays an attempted shot to the delivery, then the ball must hit the batsman's pad in line with the stumps and be going on to hit the stumps for the batsman to be given out. If the batsman does not attempt to play a shot, then the ball does not have to hit the pad in line with the stumps but it still must be going on to hit the stumps. If the ball pitches outside the leg stump, then the batsman cannot be given out under any circumstances.
Run out: a member of the fielding side has broken or "put down" the wicket with the ball while a batsman was out of his ground; this usually occurs by means of an accurate throw to the wicket while the batsmen are attempting a run.
Stumped is similar except that it is done by the wicketkeeper after the batsman has missed the bowled ball and has stepped out of his ground, and is not attempting a run.
Hit wicket: a batsman is out hit wicket, if he dislodges one or both bails with his bat, person, clothing or equipment in the act of receiving a ball, or in setting off for a run having just received a ball.
Hit the ball twice is very unusual and was introduced as a safety measure to counter dangerous play and protect the fielders. The batsman may legally play the ball a second time only to stop the ball hitting the wicket after he has already played it.
Obstructed the field: another unusual dismissal which tends to involve a batsman deliberately getting in the way of a fielder.
Handled the ball: a batsman must not deliberately touch the ball with his hand, for example to protect his wicket (note that the bowled ball often hits the batsman's hand while it is holding the bat but this is not out; though he can of course be caught off his hand).
Timed out usually means that the next batsman did not arrive at the wicket within three minutes of the previous one being dismissed.
Some rules among these can be change according to the tournament playing.
