Match with high stakes
The stakes for both these teams were incredibly high in the contest as the result would not only decide the fate of both teams, but also the hosts India.

The unfortunate part is the curator, Mohan Singh, who prepared the track for the high-voltage game is no more. Although the reason for his alleged death by suicide isn’t known yet, the local police are investigating the matter. Notably, the match is taking place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
