It's been 27 years since India played its first World Cup match against Pakistan — at Sydney in 1992 and the two-time champions have a dominating record against their arch-rivals, registering victories in all six matches. The most anticipated Indo-Pak World Cup clash will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester today, at the same ground where India beat Pakistan by 47 runs in a low-scoring game in 1999.

However, India will have to come up with a sterling performance today to erase the memory of their 2017 Champions Trophy final loss at The Oval on June 18. Opener Fakhar Zaman scored 114 to help Pakistan post 338-4. In reply, Virat Kohli & Co were bowled out for just 158, suffering a 180-run defeat — the biggest margin for any full member nation of the ICC in Champions Trophy.
