There were boos when Babar Azam spoke at the toss. There won't be any of that as Sachin Tendulkar walks out to the middle. And now the teams follow as they line up for the anthems.
An interesting snippet from statsman Deepu Narayanan: Pakistan XI combined experience - 528* caps. It makes them the least experienced among all the Pakistan sides that faced India in World Cup contests.

Of the seven India-Pakistan matches in World Cup, six have been won by the sides batting first - Centurion 2003 the only exception.
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Pakistan (Playing XI): Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf
Babar Azam: We also wanted to bowl first. We have had a good two wins, momentum and confidence is high. Jam-packed stadium, we will enjoy it.
