India and Pakistan have confronted one another 7 occasions in whole and India have gained all 7 matches.

Saturday’s match comes after India’s two video games towards the arch-rivals throughout a successful Asia Cup marketing campaign.

One match, held within the group stage was deserted because of rain whereas India registered a thumping win within the subsequent conflict throughout the Super Four stage.

Both groups are unbeaten to date within the World Cup. India started their World Cup marketing campaign with wins over Australia and Afghanistan, whereas Pakistan have two victories in two matches to construct momentum forward of the most important encounter.
