Although India and Pakistan are the arch-rivals at every front, their love and passion for cricket bind them together. India will confront England on Sunday for World Cup 2019 league match. Nasser Hussain took the context to twitter and asked the Pakistan fans who they would support. Interestingly Pakistan fans wholeheartedly showed support for the rival country.
The Favorites
While India is still undefeated in the World Cup, England’s chance of making to the top four are in jeopardy. These two are favourites of this tournament and will face each other on the heated match on May 30 at the Edgbaston, Birmingham. Currently, England is at the fourth position followed by India at the third. It would require commanding performances from both as this World Cup is wide open now. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan can anytime make entry to top four and eliminate England. For India, they would love to remain undefeated till the knock out stage.
India has already two Cups in the kitty and looks determined to win another one. England so far hasn’t won a single World Cup. With a world-class team and the home condition in favour, this is the best chance for England to win the World Cup. Eoin Morgan will not like to let this opportunity go. Overall this will be a tough battle for the survivor of the fittest.
The Story
Former England captain Nasser Hussain took to his twitter account in the same line and interacted with the fans. He asked on Thursday, “Question to all Pakistan fans .. England vs INDIA .. Sunday .. who you supporting? 😉”

Definitely backing India 🇮🇳 for two reasons
1- they’re neighbours
2- they’re passionate about cricket— Rana Shazib (@RmShazib) June 26, 2019
Even a news portal supported India on its official Twitter page. Nasser probably expected replies in support of England but this might have disappointed him.
We support England’s defeat 😛
