India and Pakistan were forced to train in the indoor nest of the Edgbaston cricket Centre after the rain played a spoilsport in their preparation. Both the teams are ready to take on each other for the third time in ICC Champions Trophy and it would be interesting to see whether Pakistan could stop India's great run in this tournament so far.
Pakistan would be looking to regain some pride by beating India before they tour to West Indies next month. Pakistan would be looking to come with a full force in this match. Meanwhile the reports in Indian express quoted Pakistan's team manager Naveed Akram Cheema saying, "Team is looking in good shape and are in relaxed mood before the big game. The boys are just enjoying themselves here.”
Cheema said, “Pakistan team is following a Code of Conduct passed on by the Pakistan Cricket Board. I can't help you with interviews as I am only following instructions. It's no point looking back. We will be playing at Birmingham which has been a good ground for us.”
India has already made it to the semis and Pakistan has been shown the doors after they lost their couple of matches. But both the teams would be looking to make the most of this crackling contest.
