Facing each other for the first time in an ODI match since the 2015 ICC World Cup, Pakistan lost to India by a margin of 124 runs leading to severe words of criticism from former Pakistan players like Imran Khan, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi.
However, they turned things around and went on to beat South Africa and Sri Lanka. They followed it up with a semifinal win over hosts and strong contenders England to seal a place in the title clash.
