Meanwhile, a 'sea of Blue' was visible outside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, ready to cheer for Men in Blue during the match.

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.

Meanwhile, while speaking in an ICC podcast, former India coach Ravi Shastri claimed that Shaheen Afridi against the Indian openers will be a challenge and whoever wins it will go a long way in controlling the most anticipated game.

Speaking about the security arrangements for the #INDvsPAK, Ahmedabad Police Commissioner Gyanendra Singh Malik says, "...All Police arrangements have been made. Police personnel have been deployed at Narendra Modi Stadium, hotels where they are staying and sensitive areas. Around 2500 personnel are deployed at the stadium. If you club all the areas, we have deployed more than 7000 Police personnel. We have three companies of RAF, one of which is deployed at the company and the remaining two deployed in sensitive areas. NDRF, SDRF and NSG teams are also here..."
