Pakistan team needs India to beat England to stay alive in the World Cup.
At the toss, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was aware of the fact and when Michael Atherton mentioned it to him, the captain said, “To be honest I haven’t seen what’s been happening outside. But I do believe the Pakistani fans will be supporting us, which is a rare thing (smiles).” India lost the toss as Eoin Morgan chose to bat first.
The Sarfraz Ahmed-led side, which is no.4 on the points table, have won four matches out of eight in the tournament so far and have secured nine points. They need a win against Bangladesh to strengthen their chances to reach the semi-finals.
Even the Twitterati from Pakistan was supporting the Indian team and we have some tweets for you.
