Hours ahead of what is billed as the "ultimate" cricket showdown, Pakistani and Indian cricket lovers take to Twitter to have a little fun and do what they do best: hyperventilate, predict and indulge in some good old trolling.

Some people are way too excited

... and are comparing it to SuperBowl

Others play analyst

With separate hashtags, both sides meme their pre-match excitement

The Indian side oozes confidence

Pakistan reminds everyone of previous wins ─ and the divisive favourite Afridi.

Trolling was typically high

They commiserated on common woes

The greens hope

...and pray

But some downplay it

Tired of the constant rivalry (and the mean-spirited cheering), some root for unity

...and stay diplomatic

But everyone knows it's the ultimate cricketing battle
