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.
Rishabh Pant needs nine fours to complete 100 boundaries.
Rohit Sharma needs four catches to complete 100 catches in ODIs.
