Earlier in the day, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam expressed his belief ahead of the India vs Pakistan match that his fast bowlers win big matches. Pakistan had won their first Super Four match against Bangladesh.

"I am proud of my pacers. We dominate everyone. Big matches and tournaments are won by fast bowlers. I have my belief in them. The secret behind their success is that they stay united and have belief in themselves. If one does not have a good day, the other one steps up and covers up for it," said Babar in the pre-match press conference.
