The 2010 ICC Under-19 World Cup, currently being hosted in New Zealand, will see India and Pakistan face off in the quarterfinals.
The match is likely to unintentionally take on greater relevance in the face of the heat over the exclusion of the Pakistan cricketers from being picked in the IPL 3 auctions.
Could there be a cruel twist of fate though? With rain having its say at Christchurch prior to the match on Saturday, Pakistan may just go through to the semi final because India lost their opportunity at a better group position after England beat them in the last match.
India will want the game to get underway and Ashok Menaria, the Indian under-19 captain, will quickly forget his own personal happiness at the IPL 3 auctions to focus on winning this match, on which everything else rests.
