The 'Men in Blue' will be keen to extend their seven-match winning streak against Pakistan while the latter will be looking to end their World Cup drought against Team India.

Fans were seen queuing outside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, right from the early hours of the morning.

Several of the fans were sporting the trademark Blue Indian cricket team jerseys and carrying the national tricolour in hand, shouting "India" "India" at the top of their lungs.
