Despite being one of the biggest sports events in the world, it is starting to become somewhat unpopular.

On each of the past three weekends, India and Pakistan’s men’s team have met, and the latter’s men’s side has won three straight games against their rivals to claim the Asia Cup title.

The women’s teams from each country will face off in Colombo on Sunday for the Women’s World Cup group match.

India and Sri Lanka both comfortably defeated in their opening game, while Bangladesh suffered a disappointing defeat.

In light of the men’s soccer teams’ political strife, the teams did not shake hands and their captains did not exchange words during the toss.

Both India and Pakistan hosting the World Cup, but neither country is willing to play on their soil in a match on their own soil. All of Pakistan’s games are played in the Sri Lankan capital.

Bismah Mahroof, the baby of Pakistan’s captain, posed for a photo with the pair’s baby at the 2022 World Cup after the two women’s teams had previously had friendly relations.

However, Indian representatives refused to answer questions about how relations between the camps were going for Sunday’s game.

Pakistan’s captain Fatima Sana stated that “we have our main goal in mind; our focus is only on the game.”

Every team and we work together to maintain healthy relationships. We make an effort to keep that in mind whenever the game strikes.

We all enjoy these kinds of incidents, such as those that occurred with Bismah’s daughter when the two played together. But the key is to maintain our focus on the purpose for which we are here.

Sana will be hoping that her team can recover from their seven-wicket defeat against Bangladesh in a stern test against an India side that is one of the tournament favorites.

You can’t evaluate your team based solely on a single game. One bad game, in Sana’s opinion, is beyond us.

The entire world is watching when India plays Pakistan, according to experts. Yes, there is pressure, but it primarily depends on how we handle it.

The outcome of Saturday’s game between Sri Lanka and Australia in Colombo, where no ball was bowled, is another question, and the weather forecast is still poor.

Australia 14 (9)

Ikitau Pens: Edmed 3

New Zealand 28 (17)

South Africa, who won the rugby championship title with a victory over Argentina, defeated New Zealand in Perth but lost out to South Africa, who had won it.

The All Blacks won the first game of the season on Saturday by claiming a bonus-point 28-14 victory, moving four points clear of the Springboks in the table.

However, South Africa, the reigning world champion, won their first-ever back-to-back Rugby Championship titles by defeating Argentina 29-27 at Twickenham.

With two quick-fire tries late in the first half, Tupaea, who had been replaced Billy Proctor, turned the match in New Zealand’s favor.

Leroy Carter scored in the eighth minute to give the visitors a lead before Australia responded with three penalties kicks from Tane Edmed.

The All Blacks took a 17-9 lead at half-time thanks to Tupaea’s two tries in the 30th and 36th minutes.

Midway through the second half, Australia’s Len Ikitau pulled a try back for the hosts, either through penalties from Damian McKenzie from New Zealand.

However, after the final hooter sounded, George Bower stepped up from the bench and grabbed the attacking bonus point.

James Slipper’s storied international career came to an end with defeat for Australia.

The 36-year-old has 151 appearances for the Wallabies, making him the most of the team’s 151.
