While India have been unbeaten in the tournament so far, managing 3 wins and a solitary draw, Pakistan have won 1, drawn 2 and have succumbed to a defeat in one game.

While the Harmanpreet Singh-led men's side are at the top of the points table, Pakistan are fourth on the table and risk being eliminated from the race to the Playoffs.
