For once, India and Pakistan will not be playing on an island. India-Pakistan matches are usually separate events within the main event, oblivious to the larger picture of the tournament, but this game doesn't seem to be the usual matter of life and death.

A loss in their opening match will leave them needing to beat Australia and possibly run-rate calculations to go their way.
