Pakistan are yet to defeat India in the  ICC World Cup  contest. Pakistan recently won  ODI Series  against  New Zealand  and asserted their dominance. The management needs to manage the workload of  Shaheen Afridi  smartly as he is quite injury prone. Pakistan side is way too much dependent on the skipper  Babar Azam  to score runs.
