India and Pakistan are all set to square off against each other in a high-stakes Super Sixes encounter in the ongoing ICC Men's U19 World Cup on Sunday, to determine who'll join England, Australia, and Afghanistan in the semifinals.

Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is all set to host the high-octane clash between the arch-rivals. India have the advantage of familiarity, having played all their matches at this venue; for Pakistan, it’s uncharted territory.

India are firmly placed in Group 2, and a win will help them advance to the semis, but it's not as simple for Pakistan. Pakistan have a net run rate of +1.484, which is significantly lower compared to India's +3.337 and therefore the Green Shirts need to win by a colossal margin to pip them and make it to the final four.

India, under Ayush Mhatre's leadership, are unbeaten thus far, whereas Pakistan lost their opening game to England by 36 runs, and that has dented them.
