Team India and Pakistan, two eternal rivals, come face to face in Melbourne on Sunday to add the latest chapter to their historic rivalry. Rohit Sharma will be leading India in an ICC tournament for the first time, while Babar Azam will be hoping to go all the way, after losing last year in the semifinal stage.
When it comes to the India-Pakistan rivalry, and who has the most wins, the Men in Blue have an incredible record against their arch-rivals.
The head-to-head record between India and Pakistan stands firmly in the favour of Team India, who were defeated by Pakistan at last year's World Cup in UAE for the very first time.
