NEW DELHI -- Life in India and Pakistan will come to virtual standstill on Sunday -- not over Kashmir tensions, but over a huge game of cricket between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
More than a billion television viewers are expected to watch the World Cup group game between the bitter rivals in Manchester, England. Emotions among fans are expected to run even higher than normal, as the match follows the suicide bombing in the Indian-controlled part of the disputed Kashmir territory that killed 40 paramilitary police personnel in February.
