World Cup 2019: India finalise preparations for Pakistan encounter at Cricket World Cup

With sun out, India were relieved to have completed an outdoor training session at Old Trafford on Saturday, ahead of their big match against Pakistan at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

KL Rahul, a regular Test match opener and who played as number four batsman in the match against Australia, is expected to step up to his familiar role as an opener.

Virat Kohli's team were humbled two years ago by the same opposition in the Champions Trophy final, albeit the match was played at The Oval in London.

Despite that, India will start favourites for Sunday's encounter as they remain as one of the two teams that are undefeated in the tournament.
