India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2021: With the ICC T20 World Cup entering the Super12 stage, preparations are in full swing at the Dubai International Stadium which will host the much anticipated India vs Pakistan clash on Sunday.

The sub-continent arch rivals only play against each other at the ICC events in the recent times, given all other forms of cricket relations are suspended due to political tensions.

Former Pakistan cricketer, Mudassar Nazar, feels that India has an upper hand this time around as well, as Indian players have been in UAE for the IPL.

India hold a formidable record in the world cups - across all formats - against Pakistan, having never lost even a single game going all the way back to 1975. However, Pakistan turned the tables on India in the final of the Champions Trophy in 2017 and Nazar, feels that Champions Trophy incident is a reminder for India to be wary of Pakistan all the time.
