The countdown to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 has begun, and cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the ‘Greatest Rivalry’ in sports history: India vs Pakistan, set to be broadcast LIVE and Exclusive on the Star Sports Network and Disney+ Hotstar on June 9, 2024.
In anticipation of the electrifying showdown between these two arch-rivals, Star Sports Network unveils its promo, bringing back the iconic ‘Mauka Mauka’ characters who have kept fans captivated whenever these two teams meet on the field.
The new installment of the ‘Mauka’ campaign aims to encapsulate the banter between two passionate fans – an Indian fan (Ratan) and a Pakistani fan (Altaf). Their friendly battle for one-upmanship has played out over the years, with Ratan humorously reflecting India’s dominance in ICC events through gestures like the sleeveless Dhoni jersey commemorating India’s 2007 World Cup win and a sledgehammer offered after Pakistan’s 2012 defeat.
Despite India winning six times, Pakistan’s first-ever victory over India in the 2021 T20 World Cup added a historic twist to their rivalry, making the upcoming encounter a treat for fans across the globe.
The campaign film showcases how the cricketing rivalry between India and Pakistan is unparalleled. It’s an intense battle of two proud cricketing nations, thus dubbed the ‘Greatest Rivalry’. With stakes high, there is a lot of off-the-field banter and conversation between fans of both countries in the lead-up to the match. Each side wants to have the bragging rights post winning the clash on the cricket field.
The 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup is the biggest yet with 20 sides taking part. All the teams are involved since the initial group stage, with each side playing four games and the top two progressing to the Super 8s.
For this edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, Team India is placed in Group A along with Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and USA. They will start the competition with a clash against Ireland in New York on June 5, 2024. Four days later, they will play Pakistan at the very same venue on June 9.
