On the eve of the blockbuster clash against India, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf met with the Pakistan players.

Pakistan and India will enter the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday with hopes of keeping their win streak alive in the World Cup. Ashraf met with the head coach Grant Bradburn as well as the players ahead of the much-awaited clash.
