India lost their second game of the Over-50's cricket World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa on Friday, going down by four wickets to Pakistan after their eight-wicket loss to England in the opening game on Wednesday.

Adversity prevails off the field as well. Team member Aadil Chagla told mid-day earlier this week that he found himself out of the 16-member squad without explanation and two players—Fabion Heaton and Krishnan Subramaniam—were included. Chagla did not feature in the team that took on England and emphasised that he had attended the selection trials in Mumbai, got selected and trained hard for the tournament and hence was utterly disappointed to find himself out of the mix.
