There is always excitement in the air when India takes on arch-rivals Pakistan. The two rivals will square off against each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Sunday, in what is expected to be a blockbuster show.
While Pakistan suffered a 60-run loss against New Zealand in their opening game, India registered a six-wicket against Bangladesh. Ergo, this will be a must-win game for Pakistan and they will be knocked out if they lose this contest.
Meanwhile, Pakistan had beaten India by a mammoth margin of 180 runs in the Champions Trophy 2017 final but since then the Men in Blue have dominated their rivals in major ICC events.
Stats Preview:
Virat Kohli needs 15 runs to complete 14000 runs in ODIs. The talisman will become the third batter after Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara to reach the milestone.
