Coming to the match, India got off to a good start with the ball in hand, dismissing openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq cheaply. A lot depended upon Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in steadying Pakistan with the bat, at the time of writing of this article. 

Pakistan will be aiming for a win, not just because they need to carry the momentum in this tournament but also to register their first win against India in the ODI World Cup. In the last seven matches that India and Pakistan have played against each other in this ICC tournament, the Men In Blue have won on all occasions. It will be interesting to see whether Babar and Co are able to end their losing streak in Ahmedabad or not.
