Colombo [Sri Lanka], February 15 (ANI): Cricket enthusiasts have gathered in large numbers at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, generating an electrifying atmosphere ahead of the much-anticipated showdown between India and Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
Waving flags, chanting slogans and wearing their team colours, fans from both sides were seen cheering enthusiastically as they awaited the start of the high-voltage contest.

Expressing emotional anticipation, the fan said, "It was a big dream of our lives to witness India's victory over Pakistan, and today we are going to witness India's victory again after defeating Pakistan. The voice should reach Lahore."
