India has defeated Pakistan in eight out of nine matches in the T20 World Cup. Former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Lt General (retired) Tauqir Zia said that with every loss, the much-hyped games are losing commercial value. "The fact is Pakistan and India matches have become too one-sided,” he said. “This time the hype built up because the PCB [Pakistan Cricket Board] announced the boycott of the game against India then un-boycotted it. Shoaib and Saqlain said it is a painful experience for them to watch the current Pakistan and India matches.
