Recent form
Pakistan head into this clash under pressure following a disappointing start to their World Cup campaign, having lost their opening fixture to Bangladesh. Prior to the tournament, they hosted South Africa in a three-match series, which ended 2-1 in South Africa’s favour.
India began their tournament with a win over Sri Lanka and will be looking to build on that success. Despite having lost a closely contested series to Australia 2-1 ahead of the World Cup, they remain confident.
