Rimon Mahfuz, from Eden Gardens
A final match before the final. The entire world of cricket will be focused on one point today, the Eden Gardens of Kolkata, India. Yes, the much awaited match or rather, cricket-war of T-20 between India and Pakistan will finally take place on Saturday. Both the teams practicing for the match at the same field at the same time, is indeed a rare sight for the cricketing world to see.
The excitement has spread from the general population to the soldiers guarding the borders of India and Pakistan.. The busy streets of Kolkata will be deserted today as the locals will all be in front of their TV sets with friends and families. Cricket-lovers from all over India have flocked to Kolkata as well.
This is the first India vs. Pakistan match that will take place at the Eden Gardens. Pakistan will be playing a match at this venue after a long period of 8 years as well.
The security of the Pakistani Cricket is being given the utmost importance by the Kolkata Police. Special security has been arranged so that the team reaches the venue safely from their hotel.
