However the match looked just to be for bragging rights, as it was not likely to have a beating on who qualified. Both sides were expected to and, with the Super 8 groups pre-determined, it did not matter who finished first versus second in the group. But all this changed last Thursday.
On Thursday Pakistan lost to the USA in a Super Over. Now if Pakistan lose to India, it will be difficult for them to qualify from the group. At the halfway point in the group stage, this would mean that the Men In Green have no points and could only get a maximum of four points, a total that India and the USA would have already achieved. Qualification would then require Pakistan winning both their remaining two games and hoping results elsewhere go their way so that they can qualify on net run rate.
Pakistan have lost eight, and won three, of their T20 encounters with India. But this is now a game Pakistan cannot afford to lose. Here's how to watch every ball of the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match live stream from anywhere.
