Manchester: When India line up against arch-rivals Pakistan in the most-awaited game of this World Cup at Old Trafford today, they will be up against some major concerns — unpredictable opponents, uncertain weather, lack of preparation and of course unavailability of their in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan.

India cannot do much about the weather, which has already taken a toll on four games so far. But they will surely be praying that the inclement weather does not interfere much with the match, which will be viewed by over a billion worldwide. A curtailed match due to rains can be very frustrating and derail the best of plans laid out by a team.
