LONDON, May 4: Pakistan and India are likely to lock horns in a One-day International match at Glasgow, Scotland in July.

A leading Asian broadcaster, who earlier arranged India-Pakistan matches in Canada, has been surveying location for the encounter, according to a report in The Scotsman.

“The proposed India-Pakistan encounter is being promoted by one of Asia’s leading broadcast networks, who have staged similar events in Canada which have attracted big crowds,” the report said. “And over the past two days, technical representatives from the company have been surveying both locations as a part of their advanced planning process.”

It is believed the big game will take place on July 4, two days after Scotland square up to Pakistan.

“The Pakistani authorities are keen to have an extra match because they don't fancy idea of coming in cold against India in British conditions. Arrangements have still to be finalised, but both matches would be held at the same venue as facilities would be in place,” it said.

The matches are likely to go ahead at either Clydesdale's Titwood ground, or New Anniesland - home of Glasgow Accies - early in July. —Agencies
