Melbourne: In the ICC T-20 Cricket World Cup in Australia, Pakistan will play their first match against the arch-rival, India, in Melbourne on Sunday.

The nuclear-armed neighbours have strained political ties and have not played a Test match since 2007, instead meeting only in multi-nation events.
They have not played any bilateral cricket since Pakistan toured India for a six-match white-ball series in 2012.
