A simple poll on the India-Pakistan cricket match on Facebook has crossed more than 400,000 votes. Indian team already leads at least this contest with more than 262,000 votes. The Pakistan team has close to 173,000 votes.

The Twitterati have also not been silent. India-Pakistan has been continuously trending in India on Twitter. This just signifies how hard-fought and close this semi-final is going to be where the two arch rivals will be coming head-to-head after eight years. Expect to see similar battles online.

The twitter timeline has been filled with rants, jokes, news and individual views about the match. One such tweet said, "Good that IndiaPak is at Mohali. Pakistan team can just walk way to Pakistan."

In the mad scramble for tickets, the black market is doing brisk business with tickets worth Rs. 250 being sold for Rs. 3000. Even a video has been doing the rounds on YouTube that shows a man who wants to sell his kidneys to get a ticket for the India-Pak semifinal. Check out the video here.

The match has also attracted huge political attention with prime ministers of both India and Pakistan being expected to be present at the match. IPL franchise owners Mukesh Ambani and Vijay Mallya are also expected to be there in Mohali to cheer in the Indian team.

The city has been turned into a fortress. Chandigarh has been declared a no-fly zone with more than 3000 policeman being deployed across the city.

No wonder a Twitter user said, "An India-Pakistan match has usually very little to do with cricket."
